             GHOSTS
       By ... Steve Lucky

Ghosts from the past haunt me
With questions unanswered
Because I lack the ability to answer them.
Some turn to me for help
As if no one else can accomplish their task.
It feels like a led weight tied around me
While dangerously near the edge of a cliff.
I try to compromise and give in to part of their demands,
But the ghosts will continue to haunt me
Until I give them everything they want.
Whether or not I am actually capable of doing it
Does not matter to them.
Even though people can be ignored,
Their ghosts remain
And ghosts are even harder to satisfy.
