I am independent.

Servant.

What is it that you need?

What can I offer?

Add it to the list of things,

That I have to cover.

How can I help you?

It's alright to ask

I know you need something,

For it is a never ending task.

I may be tired,

But what I am,

And what I need is irrelevant.

Because no one gives a damn.

So please, enlighten me.

Ask for my assistance,

For I cannot refuse.

There is just no resistance.

I plaster a smile on my face,

To make you happy.

To make it easy for you,

To make me do what you want of me.

So when I inhale,

Inhale a long breath,

Please don't bother,

Asking me to exhale away my death.

The fire that burns in my depths,

Subsided long ago.

I am but a shell,

To serve every command you throw.
