Run an errand for family

Do not expect thanks

They will never say it

They will yell

And they will complain

Why did it take so long!

Reduce you near to tears.

Don’t cry in front of them

That is the worst thing you can do

They will use it to hurt you more

Don’t expect thanks

For anything you do

They will only yell

About what you have not done

They work with the demon fibromyalgia

To keep you feeling down.

Each tension they cause

Lets the demon hold

You harder

Don’t expect a thank

You it will never come

You will always be

Underappreciated

Unloved
