Alone...again.
Why...this is something I never intend?
I always have to depend on me.
I want to be free...
But it gets so tiresome being the only person that I can depend on.
Does everyone intend to just con?
I want to feel I can trust someone fully.
Instead I get this fury in my belly...
because I know the only person that I can truly depend on is me.
Shame on you, shame on you all for making yourselves first and as always me...last.
Even though I always put you first and would always drop everything to help.
You must have taken a misstep...
To think I would keep putting myself through this.
There must be something amiss.
He tells me I'm worth it and although it kills me to go through this alone...
I'm going to put myself first and love myself because after all I should've known.
About the Creator
Lindsey Altom
For me, writing runs in the blood. I've written songs, poems and short stories ever since I was a little girl. I mostly like to write about my life experiences mixed with a little fiction or just things that come off the top of my head!

Dear Lindsey ~ I'm so glad that I've just discovered your gorgeous-eclectic presentations. *As I scroll through them I've subscribed with pleasure - So terrific and a rarity to see 'original' stories of late among the snippers with sharp scissors. I'm not a writer, just a retired legal professional; a simple storyteller to archive 'For the Kids Someday.' Not into contests or self promotion. I just enjoy sketching and leading into my own stories that way. But, this one caught my eye since, at this life stage, I can so relate. I will be scrolling through your offerings. j.in.l.a.
