You’ll bleed this well dry if you’re not careful,

I’ve thought so for a long time now. 

If you’ve got something to give then give it

and stop asking for so much and expecting,

expecting people to do what you want them to,

for the world to spin by the point of your nose,

for paradise to come to you like

you were anointed something special at birth–

you weren’t–

you’ve got to anoint yourself.
