Don’t be taking on too much

Sometimes the problem is we care to much

And others realise this and then use us,

As the solutions to their problems

Then when it gets too much for us to handle,

We find ourselves cracking under the weight and the scandal,

That is the drama of their lives that they hope we can fix

Without trying themselves, it’s a clever trick,

Abdicating any responsibility to try and solve any of it

The stress and the pressure ends up on us,

And trying to live our own lives is enough

So it’s obvious trying to live another’s is just too much,

The only reason that we do it is out of duty and love,

But it’s a recipe for disaster in the end

We cannot expect other people to look to us to solve their problems,

That’s their problem too work out and too be solving,

After all what will they learn if we do it all

They will gain nothing really out of it for sure.
