To give and to make happy is in my nature,
it's just a part of who I am.
I can't stop giving no more than I can stop
waves crashing upon the sand.
It never hurts to give,
making others smile doesn't leave me depleted inside.
The pain comes from watching those who receive
ignore me in my time.
Why should I continue to say yes
when it's so easy for you to say no?
Why should I let you come through
but when I'd like to I can't go?
Does that make any sense?
Does that seem fair to you?
You do whatever you want when I can't do a few?
I should not have to beg
for something as simple as time,
If you just thought about how I feel
you'd see it through my eyes.
Or maybe I'm wrong
to look at life the way I do,
Wrong to continue to do unto others
as you would have them do unto you.
Maybe I should start saying no
even to things I know I can do,
Just so you can see how it feels
to have someone not be there for you.
It hurts more than I'll ever physically show,
It's more painful than I'll ever verbally let you know.
The person I am
and the my heart works,
Won't let me cause you pain in return,
no matter how much I hurt.
I'll keep it all to myself
and continue to give because it's apart of who I am,
Even if in return you can't or won't
give me a helping hand.
