What’s the Point?

So tired of trying

Why is it that the

More I reach out and help

The more I mess up and

Suddenly become the villain?

I just want to be the one

To stop the hurt, the pain,

The distress for others

If I can take on that burden

To lessen it for even a

Fraction of a time for

Another person, another friend

I'd sacrifice myself to help

And yet the more I do

The more I try to take on

The worse things get and

Instead the world turns on me

The goal is to alleviate the

Pain, the distress but

Instead I'm the one who

Takes on all of the burdens

If it never works or if

I become the villain

What's the point anymore?
