Taking for Granted

Should I reflect?
Is it my fault?
Am I doing too much?
So much
So naturally
That you no longer notice
That you take me for granted

Perhaps I should reflect
Perhaps it is my fault
Perhaps I am doing too much
So much
So naturally
That you just accept as your right
That you forget that it is not so

I think I know
It is my fault
I am doing too much
So much of what I do
So very naturally
Is just being taken
For granted

You take me for granted
Am I being too nice
Am I being too amendable
Just because I am capable
Does not mean
You can take me for granted

Remember that
Just because I do
Everything
So much
So naturally
It is not your right to expect
It is not your right to take for granted

I owe you nothing
Just because I can
Just because I am capable
Just because I am me
It does not mean
You can take me for granted

You have no right
To take me for granted

Bear in mind
That I do what I do because
I can
Because I want to

But

Bear in mind
That I can

Stop

If I want to

And I will

If you carry on
To take me for granted

Because

Really

You have no right

To take me for granted.

Just because yours truly is quite able to cope and can do organising without much effort, that does not give anyone the right to take moi for granted, and worse, yours truly takes even more offence when anyone takes MY clique for granted.

Yours truly might be slow to anger and have moderate temperament and discipline enough not to throw a tantrum or take out my anger on anyone, it doesn't follow that yours truly doesn't get pissed.

In my professional capacity, trust me, moi doesn't allow anyone to take me for granted or not know when I am doing someone a favor. But for my friends, especially for a member of my clique, I let them have it easy, in fact, I would try to make things easier for them. But hey, that doesn't give anyone the right to take moi or other members of my clique for granted. Certainly not when imposing on us.

I hate the sense of being an afterthought. Also, I don't know how the rest of my clique feels, but I feel that some of them are more my friends than the someone's so I feel doubly bad that my friends are being imposed upon yet treated like an afterthought, such shabbly treatment.

How dare you take us, take me for granted. Or we so unimportant or am I such an unimportant wedding coordinator that you take for granted that even if we or I were not around, the wedding would have gone on without a hitch? *arched brows*

What is it about our friends that makes one less ruthless and less harsh than in my professional capacity?

Or is it just me?

Perhaps I should just exercise my ability to say NO and be the bitch to my friends more often?

Someone tells me I should be more obvious with my friends (or even take it out on all and sundry) when I am pissed.

But yours truly have a highly developed sense of propriety. In other words, I don't take out my *emotions on uninvolved beings.

But maybe I should. At the very least, on the person who takes my efforts for granted and is unappreciative?

Yes. Moi is pissed. More so now than, cos instead of being able to rant and tell that someone off, yours truly ended up consoling her. *roll eyes*

Friends. Why me?

Sheer in a fit
