I try to sympathize,
I try to cooperate,
I try to befriend,
I try to comfort,
I try to assist,
I try to amend,
I try to help,
I try to fix,
I try to
I try
But I need you to try too

The author's comments:
In this piece I was trying to reflect a struggle I was having trying to help people who wouldn't help themselves and wouldn't appreciate what I was trying to do. The shortening amount of letters in each line show how my willpower was giving out.

I like the way you did the format. Even if others don't move a muscle, you will learn something from the experience. I've been though what you're talking about.
