Give Me Over To Me

Inside me, there's good news.
I wonder at these people who are happy without that good news. If they were to be given golden crowns, that should still not satisfy them: "What should we deo with these? We want opening on the inside. Let them take away everything we have and give us what belongs to us in reality."
When I was a child they used to say to me, "Why are you sad? Do you need clothes, money?"
I used to say, "I wish they would take away even the clothes that I have and then give me over to me."
