My body is an orphanage, we take everyone in

Sometimes I think there is so much pain in the world that I can't breathe. And not just pain in MY world, but just THE world. There are so many people out there that have no one who cares, or loves them, or listens. I want to be that person for everyone. I don't want anyone to feel alone.

But I'm going to drown in everyone's tears. The thing is, no matter how much you want to be there for the people you care about, sometimes you have to be there for yourself. I don't know how I can be the rock for people when I'm an avalanche waiting to fall down the mountain.

I feel so much guilt for it though. How can I think of myself when everyone else needs things? How can I live with myself for not being there for someone who's suffering?

It's gotten to the point where I just can't function anymore. No matter what happens in my life there is an unending sadness just waiting there. Some days I feel like if I started crying I would just never stop.

My heart finds a new way to break every day.
