The Pleaser


Often I think you want me to put an end to myself
Because when I open and expose all to you
Pour out my soul
You are distant
Uninterested and cold
Like toe-tapping
Waiting
Impatient at that
Saying
Do the deed
So I can get on with my life
Before I'm too old

I am a pleaser
Always have been
Just want to make you smile
See the sparkle in your eye gleam
Maybe it's best
For you and for all
If I disappear
Control alt delete me
Forget about the back-up
Perhaps you'll finally be proud
Of the man kept under your thumb captured
As I meet spectacular end in glorious rapture
