The day after St.Pattys

Many days have passed and I’m still the same
Looking into the future has me going insane
Working hard for things because of what others say
Wondering if some moments I’ve missed will replay
Based on my history it’s due to repeating any day
I’ve climbed this mountain of chaos with God by my side
I admit that most of my life I’ve been secretly terrified
Caring for others before myself has taught me sacrifice
Wondering if anything good comes from being nice
I guess that’s why I walk through life with open eyes
Always wishing happiness and comfort to many
Only to end up most days feeling empty
To me it’s not material but empathy
