A Tired Phoenix

Every time I give someone a place above me,

I get hit badly,

Every time I show utter obedience,

In return, I only get setbacks,

Each time I try to trust someone blindly,

I get betrayed and taken advantage of,

Every time I hope for some care,

Some importance,

Sidelined, I remain!

Expecting from wrong people and contexts is at fault,

Choosing wisely is the cure though,

Resurrection is possible- but how many times ?

I am tired of playing a phoenix role,

Rising from the ashes always from time to time.

Born to be a ‘Phoenix,’ but now I am tired.

I need some love, some care!

I am human too!
