Cacoethes

I want to sew my eyes shut Don't want to see things That would break my heart ~~~~~ I want to sew my eyes shut Don't want the tears to flow When something breaks my heart ~~~~~ I want to sew my ears shut Don't want to hear things That would break my heart ~~~~~ I want to sew my heart shut Don't want to feel intense emotions When something breaks my heart ~~~~~ I want to rip my heart and soul out Don't want to feel anything Impervious to things that break my heart ~~~~~ Why does my heart break Overflows with empathy When I see someone tristful ~~~~~ Why do I do everything I can In my power to help them Only for them to discard me after use ~~~~~ I fit in with everyone A shapeshifting puzzle piece A cheap knock-off ~~~~~ I'm their ladder to reach the top shelf Their car to reach their destination Their utensils to enjoy their food ~~~~~ I'm just a catalyst Standing outside, always looking in A cacoethes to belong ~~~~~
