My world is pain

Giving up

I've tried so hard to hold it all together, 
They say get through the storm for there will be better weather ,
My heart is heavy and my faith no more, 
I'm sick of all the rich and always being poor, 
I have helped so many only to be alone in the end, 
No such thing as real family or even a friend,
I want to give up and finally find my peace, 
I want this emptiness and all of this pain to finally cease,
Asking for help is a joke in this world we live today, 
People are hateful ,rude , with only hurtful things left to say , 
So why keep trying in a game that is rigged and designed for me to loose , 
I feel as if all my options are gone with only one left left to choose, 
It may be selfish and people may not understand , 
Yet while I'm here as of now where is their helping hand, 
Sometimes we just have to see life for what it is really is and that there's no reason to prolong,
So from me to all of you , fuck you all when i am gone, 
I've tried my best and it just was never enough , 
I was built to be man , but I can only be so tough, 
So ready to let go and say goodbye to you all, 
I've stood strong long enough maybe its time for me to fall!!!

So many are hurting in this way, and this shines a light in the dark! I am not aware of your needs, but my world wide church offers resume training. There is also a pathway program that helps with higher education. If any of these would be of interest to you, message me and I can email you info for your location.You do not have to be a member of the church to participate.............................Jim

I've lost everything and can't get any help , my business when covid hit , now my home , I have no money , have tried to find work and have had no luck. I have two kids and zero help and I just don't know what to do anymore. I started a Go Fund me , reached out to my community , friends , family and I am alone , lost and tiered .
