I hate seeing people sad
I don’t like seeing others put themselves down
So I make them smile as much as I can
But at what expense?
I go through my own issues
But I only really rely on one person
I’m too worried about everyone else’s happiness
I’m not concerned about my own
It’s in the hours of the night
I feel the most alone
The darkness consumes me
It overrides my thoughts
I cheer people up
I give others advice
I make people smile
Anything to make everyone happy
I lose my friends if I fix my own problems
So I ignore them thinking they’ll go away
That’s not the case
It never will be
I think myself into a bad mood
I know I need to solve my problems
I lose the people I’m closest to
I lose the people I love
My life is spinning out of control
I don’t know how to make it stop
Is this really the consequence
For trying to make others happy?
