can't save everyone.

By etarnally damnd

Why is it that i try to save everyone that i meet and get close to?

To try to keep them from feeling pain and sadness.

When i know that there is really nothing that i can do.

That pain is brought by choice of the choser not by those around.

But yet i keep trying to even though i can not bear to say the things that i feel i should say.

For fear of causing pain or upsetting those meant to hear.

What right do i have to say those things any way when i my self can not even bring my self to say them.

For i feel that i should tell but also feel compeled to just listen and be the one to hear the things that u think u need to tell someone.

But is this taking the easy way out just shuting my mouth up tight and listing to what u have to say instead of giving my opinoun?

For i have no idea what i should do so i shall just listen and take the easy way out for that is all i really see i can do.

And for that im sorry if it is the wrong thing to do as i said i have no idea what the right thing to do is.

Though i know that is just an exuse.
