I Try

I have tried so hard To let things pass by, One can take so much, Believe me, I try. I hate being used Or be told a lie, Being a good friend It’s hard, but I try. I help those I know I ask myself why, Keep getting stepped on, But yet, I still try. I hope that you know You don’t have to pry, My feelings get hurt, To hide them, I try. I have to be strong At times I will cry, Be honest and true, To yourself, I try.

Kelly, sometimes we can help people no more, and stand up and say NO, help yourself - they will be the first to to contact you - hopefully with a different approach >> James

That is a beautifully written poem. It is sad that you feel that way and I wish you much love and happiness in the future. I have added you as a favorite. Thank you for sharing this. I know a lot of us out there feel the same way at times. I have felt that way many times in my life.
