Lean On Me...
You know, when it all comes down to the wire, the only person you can really count on is yourself. It stinks. I have come to realize that the phrase 'no man is an island' is completely wrong. Every man is an island. We might take a boat across the water and visit our neighboring islands, but in reality we are all out here on our own. It doesn't pay to count on anyone other than yourself for the most part. I think this is the way of the world today. I am sure things weren't always this way. But I guess that's our modern world....selfish and unwilling to sacrifice without some sort of personal reward.
I hate being an island. There are some things I do need help with. There are some things I believe I could help someone else with. Sadly...I am an island. I feel stupid most of the time - very much like a doormat. When is someone going to step forward and help me for a change?
