Useless Anyways

Useless Anyways

A Poem by emma
"

I don't want your sympathy. It's useless anyways.

"
What is there to say, really, 
to comfort someone who is hurting?
What is there to do, really, 
to help someone through a tough time?
What can I say to stop the tears?
What can I do to make them laugh?
Can I say anything?
Can I do anything?
I can't say "sorry" and expect it all to go away.
I can't pat their back and expect it to help.
So, you can't say sorry to me,
and you can't pat my back, 
Because, really, it's all useless anyways.

just something i came up with off the top of my head. well, i guess that's not true. i was having a conversation with Break The Broken and she said she didn't want any sympathy from me, and *poof* an idea! hope you enjoy. criticism is appreciated, especially on my poems.

A lot of people can relate to this. The feeling of being useless when someone close to us is hurting is really horrible. But I guess just the thought that we will stay beside them no matter what is already a big thing for them. So, I think I'll disagree with part of it. A pat on my back will surely make me feel better even though it doesn't solve the problem. Haha. But still, great write!

I loved it. I can totally relate to it. It is amazing. I have no words.

i like it... it shows true emotion because so many people feel that no one is going to understand their problem and that there is nothing to do that will help... this was well written and beautifully explained
