Why bother to make people
smile?
Why bother to help others
when it’s unappreciated?
Why bother to comfort
someone?
Why bother to make a go
at anything?
Why bother at all
When all you get is
A slap in the face
and bitter words
Harsh treatment
and nasty words
Why bother indeed
when it’s you they
Pretend to need
Why bother anymore…

Well that is really good. This didn’t make me smile of course, but if it’s any consolation, it did make me feel something so I thought I would say so. I hope people are kinder, I know they can be.

Thanks Trent.
Yeah you have to hope but sometimes it’s the realities that frustrate me like this so I tend to write a lot about those kinds of people.
I have happy stuff too of course! Not always darkness. Glad you liked it.
