Hard To Please

Why is it so hard to please those around you???
Everywhere you turn someone is doubting you.
Waiting for you to make a mistake,as if their lives are the
 ones at stake.
Families turn their backs on you unless they are the ones 
 who need you.
Friends stab you in the back and wipe their hands clean
 and say 'well that's that.'
One false move and your done,you can forget on counting
 on anyone.
What to do,what to say, how you wish that you can be saved
 from this constant struggle of trying to please.
All the time your desperate for peace.
'Stop Leave Me Alone' you shout in your head because once
 said,those words wont be heard.
Your alone solving problems of theirs and yours.
Helping someone shouldn't feel like a chore
Sometimes even I wish I could say 'No More'
