I give

September 18, 2017

I give and give and give

Without intent to receive

I give and give and give some more

And sometimes 'til I bleed

But still when I NEED someone to give

I never tend to receive

And if I do receive per chance

It's not without consequences

For later when I cannot give

It's thrown back into my face

I try and try and try some more

But trying is never enough

I need someone to hold me up

Whenever times get rough

But no ones there

The friends are scarce

And now I'm all alone

I just want a place

That I feel safe

And can finally call my home
