People-Pleasing

Xalvazora

I give away my 

Right arm, 

But I get nothing 

In return.

I'm fine with that.

 

I give away my 

Left arm, 

But I get nothing 

In return. 

I'm fine with that.

 

I've given away my 

Right leg, 

But I get nothing 

In return. 

I'm fine with that.

 

I've given away my 

Left leg, 

But I get nothing 

In return. 

Yet I am fine with that. 

 

I gave away my upper 

And lower body, 

But I get nothing 

In return.

I don't think I'm fine 

With this. 

 

They want my head, 

But I'll get nothing 

In return. 

I'm not fine with this.

 

I asked for my 

Parts back, 

But they told me, 

"No." 

 

So I'm stealing 

What's mine.

Unless I get something,  

I won't give anymore 

Of myself away.
