Im Always Told Poem by jacob mckain

im always told i need to get better
im always told their there for me

but when i need them
the only time they will talk to me

is the times they need me
not when i need them

ive been at this for years
always the one being used
not the one that is being helped

ive tried to hard
for to long

what do you expect for me to do

all i can do is what i do best

hide emotions
hide pain

show nothing but a lie

thats all i am now
is a lie
