The Giver

I give my love to everyone around me, those who need it more than I. I give my body for a moment of affection, The validation I crave deep within. I give my life to please everyone, Giving everything I refuse to give myself

Congratulations on an excellent introspective. Giving love is wonderful. But a gift of the same now and then is wonderful too.

May you learn to tenderly nurture what seems from your poem a deeply hurting Individual.We are directed to love our neighbor as ourselves not more.We must love ourselves and then let that wonderful emotion branch outwardly.God first and above all and then our neighbor as our selves.Thanks for sharing your thoughts .
