I need not put on airs,
a phony I'll never be.
The way I act and how I am,
I'm simply being me.
Giving myself to others,
and lending a listening ear.
To let a hurting friend,
know that I am here.
Its almost like a calling,
something I need to do.
I have a way of reading others,
their pain seems to show through.
So I use it with compassion,
this gift I have to see.
And I do it out of love,
I'm simply being me.
