*failure

Hurt and pain is all I see

Everyone where I go

New problems occur

Dig deeper

And you'll see there pain shine through

Everybody's got a story to tell

Secretes to hide

Nothing I can do to help

I can't take their pain away

I can't help them

As much as I try to

I fail

I fail them

I disappoint myself

I tell them that everything will be alright

When I can't even convince myself

I give them advice

On something I still struggle with myself

I feel like a hypocrite

And my friends know it too

I don't know where to turn

I don't know how to help

I'm only human

But the expectations are higher then I can reach

My scars show how many times I've failed

I make promise I can't reach

Soldiers are dying

Children are starving

Yet I sit here and complain

I hate myself for it

I should be grateful

But I can help but want to end it all

Physically I have to stay strong

But I have yet again failed mentally

Sorry it's not my best
