I hear the cries of those who need me,
and I want to save them all.
It's driving me  crazy,
because I am tormented by them too.
I can not save them,
if I try, how would I start.
No land to give,
no money to lend,
we can barely make it by ourselves.
I'm not strong,
I'm not able to do it all.
I'm not pure enough,
because I still have my demons.
I want to be strong,
though I don't know how.
I want to be pure,
but I never will,
because I'm only human.
I hear the tears fall,
and I can do nothing but stand by and cry too.
Standing by.....
I hate doing just that.
And yet, it's all I can do.
And I hate doing nothing but stand by.
just a vent poem
hope you find something in it
