I always agree with what you say

I could never turn you away

And to you I could never say no

For I feel as I have something to owe

I live to hear your kind words

Like those of the sweet song of birds

And though I feel like a burden

It causes your sadness to verden

And while your sweet words will sometimes wound me

They can also set me ‘free’

For that is what I’d like to say

Those words will tear me down

And make me feel as though I’m just a clown

A clown there for yours and everyones entertainment

While keeping my emotions under containment

I change myself to meet all their needs

As my wounds bleed and bleed

I wish I could deny your wish

Maybe I’m just selfish?

Myself I try to console

I should have never gone down that rabbit hole
