Where does the happiness lie

I'm tired of giving everyone everything
Leaving myself nothing
My energy, time, stuff
When I'm trying to make others happy

Then I realize
no one would ever sacrifice for me
They certainly won't give a second glance
Not even to my growing problems

So the next time
I don't eat dinner to feed everyone else
Give you my jewelry to keep a friend
Or gift things to the person I love

I'll watch silently as they take advantage
For they are slowly winning
Promising I won't let anyone sink
And I feel my patience thinning

Who wants me happy?
Everyone else's problem matters
I take any insult with pride
Knowing they aren't alone

I'm in a dark room
Surrounded by the hell I've created
Knowing I'd be happiest elsewhere
That's to be debated

I'm the happiest person you've ever seen
Absolutely positive
As I catch on fire once more
Nothing Is an accident or coincidence

No expectations
And I don't want anything material
Not looking for devotions
Just some acknowledgement
