Is it enough?

How much can one give before it becomes too much?

By A. NguyenPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Sharing advice that falls on deaf ears,

showing kindness to only be taken for granted,

offering a hand for them to then expect it from you,

fighting to make things better for others.

My everything poured into a broken

glass with cracks so faint you miss them.

Before you know it a puddle grows below,

everything seeping out... draining me as well.

When left alone my brain asks, "What

have you achieved?" Not in life but

in the sense of were you really helpful?

Was all that energy spent worth it

when it seems nothing changes?

People will continue to fall victim

to their vices, leaving me feeling

incompetent and useless. So much

given to others that nothing is left

for the very person that needs it.

Everything feels futile, do I care too much?

About the Creator

A. Nguyen

A writer at heart who wants to share my works. I want to evoke emotion in people when they read my writing but I won't ever know if I can, if I don't put anything out into the world so this is my first step :)
