Why do I even try

I put myself under so much stress
Cause myself so much pain
Making others sorrows mine
Why do I even try

Why do I even try
To make this world a better place
To make everyone feel happy
To bring a smile on every face

Why do I even try
To think solutions to problems of all
To be always there for others
Forever ready to take the fall

Why do I even try
To carry a smile on my face
To make people think I am happy
Living my life with style and grace

Why do I even try
To ask if everything is hunky dory
To try and correct whats wrong
Always repairing what is gory

Why do i even try
To water all the plants there are
To give every passenger the perfect shadow
Make him rest if the destination is far

Why do I even try
To prove that mankind isn't doomed
To prove that things are still all right
Just that they are taking time to be groomed

Why do I even try
To always change the status quo
Never happy with what I have
Looking always to the hill brow

Why do I even try
To explain myself to one and all
To change others' perception of me
To answer everyone's beck and call

I am fed up with all
and hence I now turn back and cry
I walk on the road I have never walked before
And exasperated I shout aloud
"Why did I even try"
