Reliance

02/02/2021 - Poem a Day Compilation



I don’t like reliance.

The dawning dread

Of people placing their trust

Upon my wee, small head.



The expectation placed

At my feet

That I will live up to

The task at hand.



I don’t like reliance.

The need to include

Other people in my plans

Because I lack something.



I like to do things

My own way

In my own time

Without compromise.



I don’t like reliance.

But I accept it

And live with it

Because I have to.
