I am a councellor

No I don't have a job

But I should get paid

Because it seems

Every ones problems

Are drawn to me

I am a magnet

A girl who shies

Away from attention

Who wants nothing

But to be left alone

Yet they come to me

And I help them all

I help the weakest

Who had been walking

For too long

Searching for help

After being thrown

Out on the streets

When his legs gave out

I help the quietest

She doesn't say a word

For her throat is too hoarse

From screaming

In pain as her father

Leaves bruises on her and her mother's faces

And scars on their hearts

I help the angriest

He trembles in fury

At his so-called best friend

Who betrayed his trust

One too many times

I help them

I comfort them

I watch people cry

And I watch peoples problems

Wither away at my touch

And I wish

I long for so badly

For the world to have another

Like me

One i can talk to

Who will love me

Who will show me I'm not alone

Someone who can fix me

Can make my problems right

Because none of those people

Know what I've been through

Or that seeing them hurt

Makes me hurt

They just want their lives

To go back to how they were

But they don't know

My life is never going to change

I have to suck it up and deal

What's done is done

I can't fix it

I've tried

But it's irreversible

Nope I'm not lucky enough

I'd more likely strike oil

In this quaint town

Than find someone like me

So I guess for now

I'll just stick to worrying

About other people

And let my life

Go on a twisted adventure

I'll hug them and words will come

Out of my mouth assuring them

Everything will be alright

While inside my brain

My life is about to tear me apart
