Ignorant Angel

I can’t please all of the people around me
They’re picking me apart
They devour every part of me
They’re tearing up my heart

And even though I try to smile
It never feels right
Its like I’m only thinking of myself
Through the weary night

But there are people out there
Who need what I can give
And I hate it that I can’t offer
My life for them to live

What about the cancer victims
They’ll never be alright
Because they are closer to their end
Yet I cheer myself in spite

I feel nothing but pity
For those too poor to live
But as for my contribution
Hope is all I can give

For my pockets are empty
With all of the sympathy I’ve dealt
And for all of the people I have seen
Sorrow is all I felt

Why can’t I please anyone?
Are they not thankful for what I gave?
I gave my time and charity
To cheer a life and save

The hungry wolves pick me apart
They eat me until I’m skinless and dry
All I did was try to slake their thirst
But they’d rather see me die

So for all of those people
Who cannot say that they’ve seen depression
Take a look at me
And my life of suppression

I’m the ignorant angel
Who walks into a trap
She thinks she’s ready for the world
She’s already sick of all their crap

But who can mend the broken heart
Of the woman who genuinely cares
Who can erase all of the
Excruciating mark she bears
