When Charity Fails

When I Try to provide charity
Never seems accomplish anything
Why even bother trying
I should just do things to benefit me

I wish I could help others
If ever try
Nothing good ever happens
So if I'm not helping
Why should I even bother?

I'm not a bad person 
the more I attempt help
It fails and my desires 
to contribute worsen
