Taking everybody for granted

Past midnight

I asked my wife

To cook

My favorite dish

She refused

I asked my friend

To accept

All that I said

He refused

I asked my son

To do everything

I wished

He refused

I asked my parents

To treat me

Like a small child

Even after

I became an adult

They refused

I kept getting

Refusal after refusal

Looked to me

As a sort of betrayal

It was too late

Before I realized

I had spoiled relations

I was taking

Everybody for granted

Thinking only about me

Without caring

About  their feelings
