The Giver

by shawn-d-smith

I give to you without expectations, I realize I may never receive the same treatment. Yet I still yearn. My love is greater than others so their heads turn. I am unorthodox, one of a kind, rare, unique so the norm does not apply to me. I haven't received loyalty or love from the people I meet, no acts of genuine kindness and sincerity could change their view of me. I try really hard to get the ones I care for to notice, but my mind just seems like its never in focus, I'm often shy and flustered when I'm in their presence because my feelings are true and unwaveringly they are tested. I feel like this is a losing battle. I won't be the victor, because they are the takers and I am the giver.
