Accustomed To Ignoring Their Own Treasures

When I came to give, Hands were closed. And fists were clenched. Prepared what seemed to me to be, Arguments conflicting with my interests. Then when it became discovered, What I came to give... Would be of benefit. Hands surrounded me opened like cups. And those with clenched fists, Were prepared to pat me on the back. As if a lost relative had for them been missed. When I CAME to give, Hands were closed. And fists were clenched. An impression made, I have not forgotten since. When I CAME to offer, I was immediately dismissed. And NOW... Today? I've learned my worth is too valuable. Too genuine to just give away. Especially to those, Accustomed to ignoring their own treasures. And suspicious of those, Who have chosen them to give. Prehaps my approached for them was too sincere. Since from them 'then'... I HAD asked for nothing.
