Blinders On

WriteBeLight

I won’t look,

For any sympathy.

Instead, I’ll offer,

All my empathy.

I won’t look,

For any attention.

Remain anonymous,

That’s my intention.

I won’t look,

For a pat on the back.

When seeking success,

In what’s my knack.

I won’t look,

For thanks, any.

Glad to be of service,

With your tasks, many.

I won’t look,

For any praise.

No disappointment,

To ruin my day.

I won’t look,

To argue with you.

In my pursuit,

To learn what's true.

When you deal with me,

You see what you get.

A human being,

Living without regret.
