An afterthought

They say I'm stubborn 
while I think I'm not 
it's that all the little things
I really care about 


I defend 
when I think I'm right 
and I try to prove 
the good advice 

they say....

To strangers it's once
to loved ones it's a nag a lot
but i can't just a blind eye
and let them hurt a lot

they say....

I thought I was enlightening them
but they did not
my well wishes down the drain 
an outcome I never thought 

they say....

this was what I was 
a few days back 
now i try to bother less 
hope this works out 

they say....

my intent they say
how long can they last 
oh mamma! my kids they laugh about 
it'll just remain an afterthought
