Giving

It's impossible to make everyone you love happy,
It's impossible.
And yet still, we try.
We try to please and to give,
To promise.
But someone is left burnt and scorned,
Someone ends up losing.
And I'm sorry that I'm not god,
I'm sorry if you feel unloved.
I'm sorry if there isn't enough to give,
That promises are broken and apologies are not enough.
But you have to know I still love you,
Just right now I am so worn.
Because I'm trying to please and I'm trying to give,
To those I love.
And sometimes I can't please everyone,
But know, please know, that I haven't given up.

I'm so happy you liked it! I liked writing it - I often feel those who we look up to don't always get the credit they deserve ❤

Passionate approach brings dividends in a study of deep seated emotional effects !
Committed write of initiative, with an open heart displayed to aid integrity of the message and emphasize authenticity.
:)
Take care.
