I am a vessel, a giver of light
But it seems my purpose is not quite right
For those around me, I am just a tool
To use and discard, without any ruleI give and give until I am drained
But when I need help, no one remained
They disappear, leaving me alone
To face my struggles and fears on my ownI am tired of being taken for granted
My heart and soul have been heavily planted
With the weight of others' needs and wants
But when it's my turn, no one respondsI dream of escaping to a new place
Where no one knows my name or face
A city where I can start anew
And leave behind this endless cycle of being usedI long to disappear, to be invisible
To escape from those who are so fickle
They only want me when it's convenient
But when I need them, they are absentI am more than just a listening ear
I have my own dreams and fears
But they don't see, they don't care
As long as I am there to bearThe weight of their problems and their pain
It's all too much, I can't sustain
This constant giving without receiving
It's time for me to start believingThat I am worthy of more than this
That I deserve to be loved and not dismissed
I will leave this city and start anew
And finally, I'll be free from being used.
