Last Place

I put myself in last place
On a daily basis
Then mentally scream
As I feel lost in the shuffle.

I count my family
Husband, son, baby yet unborn
Parents, siblings, and so on
Before myself, my own life.

I worry about co-workers,
Friends though I never see them.
Losing sight of myself
In the process.

Sometimes I just scream
Though even that I must
Keep inside my head
Because I mustn't upset anyone.
