Sometimes I Don’t Like Them Because …
Because …
They don’t take my advice.
They lie to me.
They don’t say thank you.
They sabotage their future.
They whine.
They don’t clean up after themselves.
They have an excuse for everything.
They don’t care who’s president.
They make poor choices.
They spent their stimulus check on drugs and alcohol.
They steal from each other.
They aren’t where they say I can find them.
They don’t give a damn.
They waste my time.
They scream terrible things at each other.
They think it’s alright to hurt someone because they were hurt.
They won’t ask for help.
But most of time I love them in spite of all these things …
Because they deserve to be loved.
Because I can be just like them.
Because they remind me of my own children.
Because they’ve taught me to go deeper.
Because they’ve taught me to be still and listen.
Because.
