I’ve noticed lately that the people around me no longer appreciate the small kindnesses I give them. When I send a letter with the saved messages of close and co-workers, it’s ignored. When I share my work with my peers, they still ignore it. Is it my existence, or is it a future endeavor to push for? Hush now; you’re performing admirably and I can’t wait to see what comes next.

Taken in the End

Tried and true but unforgiven
Tell my master where I’m livin’
Off my sorrows in a windstorm
Livin’ life like I’m never born

Hang my head in my disgrace
Leave my soul without a trace
Keep me quiet, out of sight
No, I’ll never see, never see the light

Who
Who’s in my head
Another silence
Drink it in instead
Or be taken
Taken in the end

~

If they know
Who’s in my head
Another silence
Drink it in
Or be taken
Taken in the end

Taken to the End

Have you ever been doubted by those close to you? I work all day long to make them happy. Sometimes I feel like the kindnesses I extend are not only unappreciated, but that everything I do is insufficient. It’s just a lot. Here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to find a way to show that I appreciate them.

For those times I feel unappreciated and a burden, I put out those negative vibes in response. That’s no way to build on the life I have. I have it in me to put in the extra miles. I know I’ll stumble, but I’m here to persevere.
