Maybe it just isn't worth the effort

I've tried in vain

All of this.

Maybe I don't know well enough

What I'm trying to do,

To reach.

Learning to live

Is no easy matter.

I want to be like them

But I'm not, so there.

I want to declare my own strength

And leave them all to be.

But then I feel like maybe

I could save them.

I'm only 

A lonely

Broken heart,

But even the most shattered of glass souls

Can heal someone, if they truly wish it that way.

Who knows? What else can I do?

Do I have anything to lose?

I can only take my chance

And try.

I'll teach someone to be

Free!

They need to learn to love.

They need someone to care for

And someone who cares for them.

I'll teach someone to have

Hope!

I'll teach them to live and

Maybe then I'll leave

A few of my fears

Behind.

Because me too,

I need to learn to love!
