My Story of the Starfish
I know I can't help them
So why do you try
Why do you spend hours
Awake at night
Why do you tremble
Why do you scream
The pain isn't yours
It's not what it seems
You stand there alone
Starfish in hand
You try and and throw far
But it stays on the land
Your arm becomes sore
Your heart becomes tired
Even your conscious
Is no longer wired
You're breaking alone
Deathbeds begun
But everything's worth it
If I can save one
Inspiration from the story of the starfish. If you've never read it I highly recommend:
