Cacoethes
Forsaking who we are, blending in goes too far
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
