Efficiency Withheld
The "Self-fulfilling Prophesy"
Is very real for you!
I hear it in the things you say
And in the things you do!
You show no faith or hope each day,
Just go through motions and
You seem to wander everywhere;
No hint of any plan!
Please understand this thought of mine,
Because I care for you.
Please try to like yourself enough
To help in all you do!
