Used

Instances of need I answer the call

Desire to fulfill your every need
Only to feel like fruitless seed
Not that I could not feel
The signs that take forever to heal

When I stare at you your state and your plight
And I feel obligated to win your fight
Needs or wants they coincide
They leave me so empty on the inside

To whom can my feelings scream
On whose ear will their whisper gleam

But yet I temp myself blissfully
Ending in despair so wistfully

Understand my nature
Surety to deliver
Endless favor and compassion
Dealing blows that drive my passion

We all need acknowledgment. Sometimes we give so much that it leaves us empty, and we need some attention ourselves (if I understand this correctly) Welcome to PoetrySoup :)
