Always Last
I have a life
but you would not know it
by the way they decide for me
what to do
and where to be.
I have things I want to do
places to go
and people to see.
They call and ask me
to do this or that
take care of this
and worry about that
for everyone but me.
No one knows
the sacrifices I make
the plans set aside
to dismiss myself
to help those in need
to help those who know one else sees.
They need me
I will be here
doing what is asked
a constant rock
where no other exists.
Yes, I have a life
but you would not know it
by the way I don’t say no
or complain about what I got to do,
never uttering a word about how
I shouldn't be
always last.
