Do the Right Thing

Why is it I'm always the one to do the right thing? I guess I figure that if I do nice things for people, my karma will one day catch up with me and I won't have to worry. It doesn't seem to work. For once, I wish someone would take care of me, instead of me taking care of them. I'm tired of being the historian, the one who remembers everything. The one who makes sure people get to eat. The one who makes soup when you're sick. Why can't someone do that for me? I know I'm independent and all, but damnit, I want the flowers sometimes too. I want someone to be there for me when I need it. I want to be taken care of every once in a while. I want some days to be all about me, but I know that's never going to happen. So I'll just keep doing what it is I do. I'll keep making sure I do the right thing for my friends and family. And I'll do it with a smile on my face all the while hoping that someone notices and does something for me.
