Going It Alone

There is a delusion
We sometimes have
That no one else
Can do what needs
To be done
Quite the way we can.

We create difficulties
For ourselves
When we don’t delegate
Responsibility to others,
And end up trying
To do it all ourselves.

We need to figure out
How to involve others
In our cause,
And incorporate
Teamwork into our plans
And efforts.

The only enemy is us
When we believe
We are the only ones
Who can do the job,
And refuse to allow
Others to help.
