Shield

The power to prevent the world harming it's inhabitants is non existent
Yet every person tried to obtain this for the ones they care about
We all strive to make this perfect little shelter
To prevent all the tears and grief from spilling into their lives
To stop life from being life
To erase the word depression
We all know it won't work
We can't hug away the problems
Hold them and be their shield
We can't solve the problems but we find comfort in trying
In wishing that we can comfort them and take all the pain away
Even after I've accepted that I can't solve the problems
I'm still attached to the idea that maybe just somehow I'll be a rare exception
That I could remove those problems from their life
The problems just exist
The problems that shouldn't exist but do
The problems I want to solve
The problems I can't
