Somethings gotta give



I do not consider myself to be above the normal man.
I have to admit, I have loved but it's been some time since I can remember being loved.  By normal I mean the typical ideation of our twisted society. The man is strong, at times dependable and usually reliable. I have grown to understand that the man will do for that which he may not receive in return.  I have witnessed being an outcast in my own dwelling and have experienced being wished death by that which has been provided for. In case I cannot carry on, who is left to love me?
No. Not love because love is nothing.
I just want to be content with effort to know that someone appreciates all I have done and I promise to return it all
