To be, or to please

To be, or to please,
for those unloving of me.
Would that be enough?
Would I still be?
not knowing whether to look within,
or to find it, somewhere to be.

Knowing the price of losing oneself,
To all the thoughts,
questioning me.
Turning into something I ought not be.
Is that enough to please,
making the whole thing bleak?
Or is it just a humanly sham,
to keep them, from who they want to be?
