Confounded?

How could this be,

A jovial balloon like me,

Floats next to you,

One perpetually blue,

.

Yet I feel like the flop?

.

What you won’t know,

Is I know when to go,

I halt my deflation,

Familiar with the situation,

.

And end you with a…

.

*POP*

.

.

.

An insight:

.

I often find myself drained by other people’s negativity or unwillingness to help themselves, whether that is in a romantic or platonic relationship.

.

This insight comes from a place of love and honesty, as I used to be one of those people unable to pour anything into myself without first draining someone else.

.

I guess what separates the blue and the yellow balloon is that self awareness and ability to recognise when something no longer serves you.

.

Rather than allowing yourself to deflate, it’s important to realise when you’re not feeling… shall we say… ‘buoyant’? And take some time to let the negative influences go.

.

Have at it! Go and pop some balloons, gals and pals! 🪡
