[ always the martyr, hun ]

"You're too good to people."

I choose to be.

"Why?"

What do you mean why?

"People are selfish creatures. They leave once they're satisfied."

That doesn't mean I can't help them.

"You should stop being a hero."

I'm not a hero.

"You should think about yourself first."

I'm not forgetting that.

"Sometimes, it seems like you do. You forget that you also exist."

That's because I don't think much about me.

"Why?"

It's quite vain, isn't it?

"It's for your own good."

Regardless, I love what I'm doing.

"I'm sure the world does, too."

It's not a bad thing.

"What's not a bad thing?"

Being needed.

"They're needing you too much."

You don't hear me complaining.

"You're too nice to do that."

I'm not exactly nice but thanks anyway.

"Sometimes they're taking advantage of you."

I know.

"Then why continue?"

Continue what?

"Doing things."

Because if I don't act on things, who will?
