Smother me with ignorance,
I promise to try and understand.
Dare to say pull harder,
your feeble ropes are slacking;
but please, if you will,
relieve me from this pressure.
Stay Careful along your tracks,
don't diminish independence.
I wish not to break away,
astonishing as it may seem.
I'll always wait a minute longer,
just to see if you can change.

© Kate S., Hopkinton, MA

Sometimes it's like your being pulled in so many directions and it starts to become hard to please everyone.
