Begone, emotions!

But where will they go?

Another outburst,

Another reminder of how I have to take it all in.

Fix everyone's problems.

Yet, when things go wrong,

I have to fix those things also

Without showing any emotions.

This is a web of deceit, isn't it?

Everyone's just making mistakes

Because Manisha will fix it

Right?

This is some trick up the master's sleeves

To see if I keep falling for it or not

I do.

I keep falling for these tricks.

I keep picking up the pieces

That other people drop.

I keep reaching out for support

And get none in return.

Even then, it's fineeee

But when I cannot take it anymore

(Let's be real, it's mostly during PMS haha)

And I explode

IN R A G E

I get told

"You cannot get angry"

"You cannot keep screaming"

"You have to just let it be"

SAY WHAT NOW?

It's so easy for others to say...

How about stepping up and doing what I do?

And if you can't,

Have a bit of empathy to just let me deal with my emotions

That I'm drowning in

Because of your incompetencies.

Your lack of care.

Your laziness.

Thanks, no thanks.
