I do not have enough reserves
To give out all the love I have to give.
To do so would drain me completely.
To truly live in this world is to see pain
To feel it deeply and know even if it is a sea
I can still see the other side
Still see the other lives
Wanting to ease everyone’s pain
Wanting to elevate everyone
To where they can be
To see their potential fulfilled
In small part because of me
Because I believe
We can all be better
To give it all would be tantamount
To suicide
I tried a couple of times
That is why I love from a distance
Safely separated from people
Because I would end up giving up
Every second I had
Every cent I made
Every ounce of energy
Until there was nothing left of me
To love humanity
The closest thing to good insanity
Just know
I love you all
