We Often Leave It Too LongWe often leave it way too long To do the one thing we should do- Our first of all responsibility To be more kind to the soul that's you- We seem to live our lives around life's hives Doing what so many others say is best- Scared stiff of not making the right choices Trying too hard to pass each and every test- So many others they just please them selves And you being the soul you are within- Go out of your way both night and day Being like them you feel would be a sin- Doing your best to please everyone you love Forgetting your own dreams along the way- Doing what they say is the done thing Leaving little of your own dreams on the day- Giving all a share of your self best you can And wondering why others who don't all succeed- You they see as the caring and faint hearted one And respected over all as some kind of weed- But all of the time more so ever fine You should give your self ever so much more- By feeding , respecting and loving your own soul Then you too can take care of those that you adore- Spreading ones heart and love way to thin And leaving what your soul needs to survive- Not putting enough loves fuel in your own tank And still trying to stand tall and stay alive- All of the souls that are not like you Will ridicule and often call you weak- But all the while with a confident smile They put them selves first always as they speak- After you have learned to love your self Then you are more complete in every shape and form- Not giving all of your self away all of the time You can then have loved ones enjoy each dawn- We often leave it way too late in life To love our selves the way we really should- As selfish souls teach us from day one To do this very thing it is not good- You are your self a gift from God above To thine own self be way more true- Without being selfish as some souls are And then you just might make it through- Terrence Michael Sutton copyright 2008 Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
