Can'T Handle Being Dependent Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Rhythmically listening and rocking to particular
sounds of yesterday, solving problems still
standing in pathways of life.

Giving up and deciding to pass them up, while
finding a way around each of them in turn.

Swallowing the pride I used to have, compromising,
and at times letting someone take over the reins.

But not for very long, because I can't handle the
feeling of being dependent on another.
