Only to please the others

Why should we live

only to please the others?

Is there any sense in

living only to get

your smiles?

Why should I be

only what you want?

Why should I do

everything you

want and forget

all about myself?

Why should I use

all my strength and

do all the efforts

only to please the others?

Was I born without a heart,

without a soul and without

my own feelings?

We can't live only

to please the others

because we have

our feelings too.

We aren't things.

We are humans,

we have our dreams,

we have our wishes.

Why should I live

only to please the others

as I was so insignificant

that I should sacrifice

all that is important to me?
