Everything that was within me I gave so openly and freely...

Every ounce energy that I could muster I have poured into depleted  souls

I would bleed myself dry for a thorn prick or a paper cut or an open chest wound

I worked day and night to make ends meet and to feed those who were not mine

I sang songs from my heart to lift weary spirits

I have danced to music that was not mine just to keep the peace even though I still would have to pay the piper and dance for my own misdeeds

I cried a river because I cared and watched as those same people laughed at my demise

I have buried the hatchet mostly when I had done nothing simply because I wanted to still be friends

I have been thrown to the wolves to be eaten alive when I went only to lend a hand

I have been sold out for the benefit of those who treated my sellers as if they were less than lepers

Giving and helping is in my soul, it's what I do and I give until it hurts...

The pain that I speak of is the insult of being seen as weak...

For if I were a weakling, how could I help you, so please don't get it twisted!!!

I have given all that I have, please understand that I am tired and should I choose to help you, do not expect ME to kiss your ass as well!!!
