you treat them like they
have a heart like yours
but not everyone can be
as pure and forgiving as you are
you don’t see the person they are
you see the person they once were
or the person they have potential to be
which is why you give
and give and give
until it starts wearing you down
they pull everything out of you
and leave you completely empty
when really,
you deserve to be so full
and not the type of full you feel
after a thanksgiving feast,
I’m talking about the full, you’ve lived up to
you should radiate
you should feel warm
you should sit tall and feel like you’re on top of the world
because you’ve given so much
so much good
to the world
