All it takes

[Maeve]

You did your best
Always caring just enough to be loved
And never too much to be starved
Always protecting enough to be safe
And never too much to be a slave
You did never rest

You went all out
Sometimes far beyond expectations
But never limitations
Sometimes for beyond understanding
But never demanding
You did never shout

You were so though
Often beaten down
Still not on the ground
Often exploited
Still not disappointed
But it was not enough

Don’t do your best
Always making mistakes
And never enough to have heart aches
Always loosing it
And never enough to quit
Just rest

Don’t go all out
Sometimes in your own imagination
But never a creation
Sometimes in your train of thought
But never being caught
Just shout

Don’t be though
Often defeated
Still not deleted
Often crushed
Still not cuffed
Just enough
