I Rather It Be Me

To the cutter,
Cut not yourself, but me instead.
To the hurting,
Let me take the pain.
To the laborer,
Let me do the work.
A cut on me means nothing.
I can take the pain.
A little work is fine.
But a cut on you hurts worse,
But your pain is doubled in me,
But your work tires me more,
When it is you who has to take it.
