Why can't I take their pain away?

[Acronychal]

Everyone I care about seems to be hurt. I can't do anything about it, I'm so damn useless.
I just want to help, I just want to take their pain away. Everyone's pain. I don't care what it would cost me, as long as everyone else is alright. But I can't, I'm just not strong enough.
I'm so worried about everyone. All of my friends have one thing or another wrong, but there's nothing I can do. I try, I try, I try, but I can't make everyone better. Seeing them in pain, even just a little, is like another shot to the head.
It's killing me, honestly it is, that I can't just take their pain away.
I don't know what to do. I don't. Why can't anything I do be enough? Why... Why can't everyone just be okay?
This all sounds so stupid, but I feel like I've failed everyone I love. And to them, I'm so sorry...

Well for one, you are not God. You are going to have to realize that.

Nobody is perfect. You are not going to be able to help each and every individual that comes into your life. You are just going to have to realize that there is nothing that I can do for them and its not my fault that I can't. They have their own problems in their life that they have to deal with and I can't always be there and I won't always be there to help them.

Try not to put yourself down. You are not some superhero as you put yourself out to be. You should enjoy life and work out your own problems and not other peoples.

The sooner that you realize this the better.

I know. I was just being irrational last night at 1 in the morning. I guess I was just worrying about everyone at once, then blamed myself for not being able to fix everything. I get irrational sometimes, we all do, don't we?
I probably should have better explained myself, I guess. I feel like an idiot reading it. I know I'm not a superhero, I just wish I could help more. That's all, even if I can't FIX the problem, you know?
But thank you, for at least reading my illogical ramblings and making sense. =)

This isn't a fantasy world. Bad things happen to good people. Just do your very best and you can't say you have failed.
