the more you're given

the more you have to give

mute your ego and serve

let others climb

let others celebrate

let others call you a fool

listen and serve

let them vilify you

let them misunderstand you

let them hide your contributions

it doesn't matter

let it go

let it happen

let it hurt

in the end it will all pass

you broke before

so many times

did you forget how you arrived here?

beyond pain and suffering

worrying about tomorrow

and how you will afford the future

for yourself and those you love

the more you're given

the more you have to give

serve
