Heed

I hate this place where no one knows me 
those I know think me low 
my state of mind far from cozy 
no one here to say hello 

I put my hand out for no return
people hurt me oh how I learn 
now I never show concern 
never care when it’s your turn

In their need I came through
in my need they did not 
next time they’ll expect me too
I’ve given all I’ve got 

In your hour of need 
nobody comes through
the lesson you must heed
you only ever have you

Reminds me of a common theme among the human race.
