It Can Be Draining Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Sometimes it can be draining,
And gets difficult...
To be in the midst,
Of thoughtless people.

Especially those who have aged,
To express less concern.
Or how their whims affect...
The ones who treasure their lessons learned.

At times emotional feelings exposed,
Are received to be ones embittered.
When sharing them amongst those,
Who could care less...
About the depthness of another's experiences.
And how those experiences are addressed,
Each day to expect, accept or reject.

Sometimes it can be draining,
And gets difficult...
To be in the midst,
Of thoughtless people.

Especially those who have aged,
To express less concern.
Or how their whims affect...
The ones who treasure their lessons learned.

It can be draining.
Isolating.
And reflectively disrespecting.
