The love I cannot give myself,
I seek to get from others.
The self-worth I lack,
I vainly seek
from ungrateful people.
I let myself be used,
I let myself be abused.
The more I try my best,
the worse I feel.
I’m not a blackboard,
but I self-efface
with the best of them.
I’m so good, far too good,
and no one appreciates it.
I’m so tired,
have no energy for myself
I’m so tired,
everything and everyone
comes down to me alone.
I’m empty, completely empty.
I’m tired, so tired,
it’s all too much.
