I Would Love to Give Up

I open my mouth
And words just fly out
And I cannot stop them
I try
But I am only so much
I would love to give up
You have picked me to the bone
You kick the leg you stand on
I am only so much
And nothing much is left of me
You take more, more, more,
‘Til I’m gone
‘Til I’m good to no one
I open my heart
You tear me apart
And I cannot stop you
You love to point out
Some stupid thing I forgot to do
Like I should strive to be you
But I am only so much
I’m about to give up
You have picked me to the bone
You kick the leg you stand on
I am only so much
Less and less is left of me
You take more, more, more,
‘Til I’m gone
‘Til I’m good to no one
I am only so much
Only I protect me
Will that ever be enough?
I open my eyes
