What Am I Doing Wrong?

Folder: 
Poems About Me

So can someone please explain
Why people enjoy others pain
And can't just give them a chance
Because I try so hard to be nice
But with some I manage to think twice
Because I know some aren't worth that second glance
What have I ever done to you?
All I want to do is talk
But you don't seem to have a clue
How so soon I can start to walk
Not everyone is given a try
But I tried to give you yours
But I always end up saying goodbye
I'm the one that will close those doors
So what am I doing wrong?
All I want is love and happiness
But it seems I get ignored the most
Why do I always remember the sadness?
And why do I always appear the ghost?
I've never hurt anyone
Until they have hurt me
All I want in life is to have my fun
And be as happy as can possibly be
Can you tell what I'm doing wrong?
Open manners and a big heart
Are my blessings and my curse
I don't always know the end from the start
But I'm not always sure what hurts worse
I manage to smile and stay strong
Even though I try my best
Someone always seems to deem me wrong
But I can't say much for the rest
So I'll keep going on my merry way
And I don't really care what you say
It will sting but I won't bleed
My sorrow isn't yours on which to feed
So my question I ask too many times
The question that always rings a bell
When you were the one favoring the crime
And I was the one who unintentionally fell
What could I possibly be doing wrong?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is just about how the nice ones can really be treated the worst. I've known this from experience and I hate that sometimes people can be such jerks and take advantage of me and take me for granted. I'm not trying to be snobby and say that I'm the best there is, but I am trying to say that I deserve respect. Just because I am nice doesn't mean I should be walked all over and treated like I don't matter. This goes for anyone like me as well. I always say that I have a big heart and that it's my blessing and my curse and that's the basic meaning of this poem.
