I just tried to be helpful
I just tried to care
But somehow everyone wished
That I wasn't there

All I received for my troubles
All I got for my gladness
All I got for my service
Was pain, suffering, and sadness

"No one likes you now,"
Is what a friend of mine said,
And when I heard that sentence
I thought I should be dead

I would have taken my life
Taken myself from this world
I wouldn't even be here
If not for a small girl

She talked to me when no one would
She saw past my mistakes
She told me about a movie she saw
And put a smile on my face

I realized then that I am important
And there's always someone who cares
And no matter what happens now
I will know there's always someone there

So if you ever feel depressed
And if you no longer smile
Just know there is someone who cares
Even if it is a child.
