My Generosity is not my Responsibility

Don't mistake my kindness for servitude,

My generosity is not your right.

I choose to give freely and with gratitude,

But don't expect it every night.

My heart is open, my spirit kind,

But I am not your servant or slave.

Don't take advantage, don't be so blind,

My help is not yours to crave.

I give because I want to, not because I must,

Don't misunderstand my intentions.

My charity is born out of trust,

And not from any obligations.

So don't mistake my generosity for responsibility,

I am not here to serve your whims.

My kindness is given with humility,

And not to cater to your whims.
