I cannot

I cannot bear
The weight
Of the world
On my shoulders
Anymore.

I cannot
Anymore
Help the needy
And I cannot
Anymore
Be
The voice
Of the voiceless.

For my shoulders
Have sagged
And my voice
So very sore.

My mind
Is now
A battleground
Of
Other people's trauma
and perhaps
a suspicion
that the world
is rotten
at its very core
for
a lot of  people.

How then
Do I live
A normal
Nice and kind
Life
If I cannot be
Where they need me?
