Good Deeds Go Unnoticed

Why do others just remember The bad things you do forever One or two mistakes and you Hear of them your lifetime through But the good things you've accomplished Seem to disappear and vanish Without a trace of "good job" Helping others is so hard When you want to do what's right But darkness covers up the light Every time mistakes occur Deeds of goodness are a blur No thank you's for what you've done Your kindness just goes undone As your yelled at more and more Your good faith walks out the door Knocking to get right back in When others need you once again This roller coasters up and down What is going to be found Sweet voices to recognize The times you have always tried To help and be a team player Or a mean voice that will slay ya With harsh words that condenscend When will this ride ever end It's always a daily battle Your nerves start to shake and rattle With so much anticipation Good times or bad aggravation Will you be right on the top Or take a fast and deep drop To the bottom where you'll stay Until you start to climb your way Back out with one more good day Where you want to always stay

robin, it seems that way with some people, but other people not so much. I hope you find people in your life to make you feel positive about yourself and not putting you down. I enjoyed seeing this poem of yours tonight.

"No good deed goes unpunished" comes to mind. I totally agree with what Becca said. It's also said that character is what we do when no one is watching. Great write, Sweet Pea! <3
