Pleasing all the peaple all the time
must just come easily.
to me.

Tell me what you need and smile real sweet
and I'll do what I can.
again.


I bet you're here for something.
I bet you want it from me.
I bet somebody told you I'm a giver.

I bet you know all about,
how I won't let you down.
I might destroy myself but I'll deliver.


Pick through what you want, or what you need,
and carry it away.
Today.

But you don't know the half of all the things,
that I keep deep inside.
Behind.


Here in a cage I keep my heart.

Here in a box I keep my thoughts.

Here in a can I keep my sins.

Here in a bag I keep my scars.


Now don't think twice about where it came from
I've come to feel at home.
Alone.

But you'll be back my friend, that is something
on which we can depend.
...It's just a matter of when...


I bet you're here for something.
I bet you want it from me.
I bet somebody told you I'm a giver.

I bet you know all about,
how I won't let you7 down.
If I destroy myself I'll still deliver.

Very powerful. I wish it easy enough to sum this all up in one word, but I can't. So intense and moving will have to do. :)

Yeah, those lines really brought it home...I know what it's like to be 'the giver' of a large group of people, which is why these days i dont even have my own personality, too busy making everyone else like me so they like themselves..Very good write

Very powerfully stated...the repetition of those six lines struck your message home. This is lovely. *Evangel*
