Leave It As That Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If a giving is done with a purpose to give,
Why do some feel a need...
To remind the receiver that a deed done,
Should not be forgotten?
With a doing one does told to everyone.

And these become the people,
To exaggerate and embellish their unselfishness,
As if the doing of this...
Keeps their need for an attention to get,
Undetected but yet those listening suspect it.

'Why can't you do for others and leave it as that? '

~Comeon, be real.
And have people believe they can just use me?
And not mention all the good things that I do? ~
