Weary

by Cheryl Merrick

I am weary of people who,
in their immaturity,
expect me to shoulder their consequences.
I am weary of people who,
making poor choices,
expect me to make it right.
I am weary of people who,
expending no effort,
expect me to make them happy.
I am weary of people who,
neglecting to plan,
expect me to make exceptions for them.
Yes, this is a weary load,
But it is not mine to carry.
