Sometimes I try
Sometimes I try to please everyone around me
And in the process I lose myself and a little of my sanity
Running around in circles
Answering one question after another
Trying to cope
Giving the best advice I could of
Listening when others need an ear
Thinking of solutions
Helping those to conquer their fears
But when my advice goes down the drain
Into a gutter with disgusting remains
I feel used
Washed up and confused
Verbally abused
No matter how hard I try
I fail
And I still know not of why
It isn’t because of me
For my advice is given freely
And those who don’t take heed
Then the challenge you will face
indeed
Sometimes I try
To help those who needs the advice
And when all has been said and done
I become
The bad one
But that’s okay
Because I have tried
Although I have failed in their eyes
At least I have tried
It isn’t my fault
Although I blame me sometimes
My mouth and my honesty gets the best of me
Causing me to lose control of my emotions and giving advice based on my past experience
Sometimes I try just too much and it comes a time
When enough is enough
Optimistic Devi ❤️ ✍️ 🙏
