Poetry: Why Do You Bother?

Why do you bother?
Am I some project
some charity case?
Do I make you feel
as If you are doing something good?

Why do you bother?
I am not perfect
not in any way.
I am flawed beyond reason
a shell
hollow and cold.

Why do you bother?
Showing me tenderness
when none is deserved
smiling and laughing
why do you bother
when I am nothing
at all.
