Just Let Me Go
Fake friends can make you question your entire moral compass. Despite the actions of others, I was raised to treat others as I wanted to be treated. I have taken a lot of stabs though out life and have given some too, and I’m working on becoming a better, stronger, individual. Self awareness and reflection before reaction is a daily goal I take seriously. I’ll always have some sort of issue with letting people walk all over me. My heart was just built overloaded with sympathy and empathy. A blessing and a curse.
All my life I have felt like a burden to the ones I love and care for;
Only good enough when I’m giving them what they want and more.
I focus myself on them with all I have in me,
I try to be everything that they need me to be.
Only to find out that the ones I love the most,
Are the first ones to disappear like a ghost.
What is it about me that makes people run away?
Why am I not good enough to make them wanna stay?
I know I’m broken,
And extremely outspoken;
I sometime struggle with paying attention;
But I promise, I’m always listening.
I give my heart to people I first meet,
I can’t watch anyone suffer or see them in need.
Even though I know nothing about them,
I feel it’s my job to help their heart mend.
I don’t have anything most of the time,
But I always give what I can, even if it’s my last dime
Why do I give a shit even when I know shouldn’t;
Why do I care when I know for sure they wouldn’t?
Why do I forgive and forget so easily,
Even after knowing when I needed them they deserted me?
I’ve settled my whole life to be the stupid one,
When am I gonna finally be smart and say “I’m done”?
Do I deserve to be treated the this way,
Or is it my curse to feel inadequate each and everyday?
