WHY?!?

The more I try, the more it hurts.
I'm tired of trying, dammit.
I'm tired of doing my best and getting nothing but grief in return. WHY?!?
Why is it some things come so easily to others, whereas I bust my ass for every penny?
Why do some people take SO much for granted?
Why do some take advantage of kindness and use me up?
It gets hard to bite my tongue and be nice.
It gets hard to be happy for those who don't deserve it.
It gets hard to come home to a cold, empty bed every night.
Why should I conform to standards?
Why should I look the other way?
Why should I even attempt to do that which is expected of me?
It's never enough. I can't make everyone happy, least of all myself.
I can't please everyone. I can't do everything.
All I can do is what I can do.
So be it.
