How to teach you to do what is so easily done?

Become everything and nothing to each and everyone

Be their grandest defender and their biggest fan

Be their ups and their downs, planning their every plan

And once they have tired of the things you're good for

They will throw you away, when they don't need you anymore

  • With such thoughts running through my head (as they often do), I cannot help but wonder how many I have thoughtlessly cast aside because they no longer serve any useful purpose for me?

    Life is a challenge, and one gets what one gets. Good job.
