recklessly compliant
why do you give into every one's needs?
must you sacrifice everything for the sake of your peers?
overly docile
why do you shrink yourself down?
do you really need to always please everyone around?
dangerously dependable
why do you offer a shoulder you know you can't hold?
is it really worth making others happy while they leave you in the cold?
recklessly compliant
won't you let someone take care of your needs for once?
let someone take the burden of the cold you've been holding for months?
