When it Hurts – by Pansy Gee

When it Hurts
I know my life is not about me
And that’s ok.
I do not to do for me, but
To serve
To be useful
To do good.

I don’t look for
Thanks
rewards
Pay back
Accolades
(Though I don’t mind any them)
But when
I am not thought of at all
when what I do is taken
for granted
I pray to
make it not hurt,
to remember it’s not about me.

Part 2
Where are you?
But I thought you wanted us to…
For me to….
Sorry, I….
Never mind. No worries.
It doesn’t matter…
(I don’t matter)

It’s not about me.
…make it not hurt.
