but still people like to reap me.

people use razor knife to cut me

I am here to give you joy

but still people put fire on me

I am here to make you happy

    $\begingroup$ Do people normally smear birthday cakes on other people's faces? I've never actually seen it before, and it sounds kind of weird. $\endgroup$
