Nothing Left to Give

Exhausted

Loving

Attentive

Radiant

Thoughtful

Jovial

but.. for being terribly flawed, they're:

Banished

Abandoned..

Misunderstood..

Mistreated..

Hurt...

But..

It's clear the fool is the problem...

Told over and over that clearly something's wrong if they're always found in that situation.

Blood can't manage..

And few dare to challenge themselves and stick around...

So is it that they've been misguided all these years?..

Coaxed into thinking that they're the victim..and everyone else is the reason for their anguish?

Foolish? Selfish?....or what?

Called names all throughout life and they're repeated at so many opportune times..

Discouraged by acts.. by words...by a lot..yet are they just hallucinating?... 

Pity story..They wish..'cause then they could always forget it and make things up to spruce it up..

So how about...story of their lives...one that has so many climaxes, it could be a sin.

But hey, that's not supposed to be voiced either..

Not if they don't want to end up alone..

Obvious that they're unacceptable..so...what then?

What more can they do..can they say?

They're human!

They get angry...

Why is everyone else accepted for being such?

Even their accusers..??

Dirt thrown back in their faces by those who've taken pity to bestow their grace on such imbeciles..

What's the sense?...One type of torment to the next..

It was only a matter of time.

Yet, these fools hold on to torment as there's nothing more to gain...nothing left to give... 

Positive thoughts..

hearty laughs...

genuine smiles..

All few and far between...

But the fools overlook their lack of these things, and the pieces of them that aren't flawed still:

Wish well for those affected by their virus,

Give of themselves out of a sincere heart..

And smile when they've witnessed happiness...something that doesn't like to visit...

After all, what more is left to give?
