I'm self-destructive,

With nasty habits,

And a heart of purest gold.

I will give and give,

With all I have,

Too much, is what I'm told.

I love myself,

No more than the next,

I love myself,

No more, no less.

Balance is hard to keep,

But I give and I give,

Til I'm weak.

Put out,

Burnt out,

Til the ashes,

Burn out again.

But I love myself,

So I withhold from the next,

And I give all I can to myself.

Balance is hard to keep,

So I give and give,

And again,

I am complete.
