Why Do I Try?

I try to help,
I fail.

Why do I even try anymore?
It isn't worth it.

They don't listen,
You try but it seems useless.

Then you watch,
As they just fall apart.

Right before your eyes,
They break down.

And you can do nothing,
But stand there helpless.

Frozen,
Useless.

That's all I am,
Useless.

To everyone
And everything.

And the more I try,
The more damage I do.

So why do I keep trying,
Why don't I just stop?

It won't make a difference,
It never does.

My efforts,
Nothing.

You can say thank you all you want....

But I did,
Absolutely,

Nothing.
