I am a councellor
No I don't have a job
But I should get paid
Because it seems
Every ones problems
Are drawn to me
I am a magnet
A girl who shies
Away from attention
Who wants nothing
But to be left alone
Yet they come to me
And I help them all
I help the weakest
Who had been walking
For too long
Searching for help
After being thrown
Out on the streets
When his legs gave out
I help the quietest
She doesn't say a word
For her throat is too hoarse
From screaming
In pain as her father
Leaves bruises on her and her mother's faces
And scars on their hearts
I help the angriest
He trembles in fury
At his so-called best friend
Who betrayed his trust
One too many times
I help them
I comfort them
I watch people cry
And I watch peoples problems
Wither away at my touch
And I wish
I long for so badly
For the world to have another
Like me
One i can talk to
Who will love me
Who will show me I'm not alone
Someone who can fix me
Can make my problems right
Because none of those people
Know what I've been through
Or that seeing them hurt
Makes me hurt
They just want their lives
To go back to how they were
But they don't know
My life is never going to change
I have to suck it up and deal
What's done is done
I can't fix it
I've tried
But it's irreversible
Nope I'm not lucky enough
I'd more likely strike oil
In this quaint town
Than find someone like me
So I guess for now
I'll just stick to worrying
About other people
And let my life
Go on a twisted adventure
I'll hug them and words will come
Out of my mouth assuring them
Everything will be alright
While inside my brain
My life is about to tear me apart
