What is this, this incessant need to help? Why must I help everyone whos path I cross? Be it emotional or physical, monetarily or otherwise. I have to help but want none when I need it. I can handle whatever baggage is placed upon my shoulders, but I cannot seems to handle my own and im being crushed under the wait. What is this paradox that I'm in? How do I stop this ride from spinning so fast? Its making me sick but I dont want to get off. How is it that I can handle everyones burdens? I can help you, If you'll let me. I'll carry that for you if youd like me too. I'll walk that line if you need it. I can be that person for you. I can whatever you need me to be I can  handle it cause I have to, cause I want to, cause I need to. I wish I knew why I dont want anyone to help me I just know I feel free of the emotions that seem to plague others. So I guess I need to feel them through everyone else. Love, Joy, Pain, Hate. I feel these Sadness, Misery, Suffering. I feel these Kindness, Caring, Empathy. I feel these Hope, Passion, Trust. I feel these I feel emotion I am just not controlled by them, I rule them not they rule me. I can not not help someone but I dont want help when I need it.
