Description Little pieces of my soul,
slipping away,
bit by bit.

The needs of others,
outweigh my own,
trying to please them all.

Especially you,
oh I'd sell my soul
to please you.

But no matter what I do,
it's not enough,
it's never enough.

I have no options,
dead-end, impasse,
heartbroken impossibility.

I can't do this,
but I can't not
do this either.

Living in misery,
waiting for my
soul to be devoured...

Slowly, piece by piece,
bit by agonising bit,
I'll give it away,

to the hungering,
needy, greedy,
graspers that grab.

And I'll wait,
yearn and long,
for the day,

when I might be,
maybe, possibly,
my own again...

I feel you about being considerate to a sacrificial degree. & it's mostly a cycle as you gain sympathy for those that synchronize.

'I can't do this,
but I can't not
do this either.' Just consider this within the cycle

creative writing and the answer probably is never know - you need to love yourself to love others, if you give it all away what do you have left? While young, enjoy, laugh, cry and live - don't wait until you are older and wish you had. take care
