You Can't Please Everybody

One of the
Hardest things in life
Is coming to the
Realization
That you cannot please everybody.

No matter
All of the good things
You do for them.

No matter how
You stayed up with them
Many a night
To listen to their
Deepest concerns

No matter how
You gave them all of the
Benefits of having you
As their friend,
As their best friend,
As their sibling.

No matter all
Of the bargains that you have done
In their name,
Even if it came at
Personal costs for you.

No matter all of that.

They will
Despise your very existence
For no good reason at all.

The moment you do
One mishap,
One thing that makes you
Fall out of their favor,
They will spit at your name,
And leave you all alone to blame.
