Wisdom

I cant sleep at night 
My brain never shuts down 
There is to much hurt in the world 
Its all around
I see it in you 
And I see it in me
Trying to do whats right 
To set your mind at ease
So you take the blame 
For everyone’s actions
But still you get no satisfaction
I try to talk to people 
In their most time of need
I keep boosting their confidence 
Telling them they will succeed 
I cant stress enough how important 
It is to live for if you help one person out
Its a life well worth lived
