You can do it, they say
It's just one more thing
On the list of things
In which you excel.
Just one more task
You can handle it
It's death, it's pain,
It's responsibility.
But you're strong, you're you
You've always been.
Go on, go on,
You will get through.
And this and that
Just one more thing.
You need a break?
Drop what you love.
These pesky things
That you enjoy
They just cost time
Don't need them, really.
Oh, you need help?
Of course, I'm here
And give you all my problems too
On top of what is bothering you.
Cause hey, I listened for
Minutes straight!
You're better now!
You're strong!
Let me just know
How I can help
Write me a list of
What to do.
Take all the energy
That is left
To help me help you
So I can feel good.
And when darkness falls
And I'm alone
They're all asleep
Satisfied with their help.
But who did they help, really?
Me, or rather themselves?
While they say I'm strong
I'm at the breaking point.
What a beautiful poem @suesa-random! I hope that this lyric serves so that many people listen to your call of conscience and dedicate ourselves to helping others when necessary.
so tired of this. At least let users get themselves off your list or something.
