nobody listens to me

Nobody listens to me,
I give advice because I went through it,
I wouldn't give it if I hadn't,
And when I give advice,
It is because I care,
If I didn't care,
I wouldn't submerge myself and listen to your dilemmas,
But,
No one listens to me,
It is as if they toss my words to the side,
And continue to get themselves hurt.
It is as if my words never mattered.
And my words were a waste of breath.
