Sympathy Is for the Weak
What makes you feel complete?
Why are you so sad all the time?
Why can’t you get those same things off your mind?
By now you should have been fine
The clock is ticking and all you’ve been doing is lying in your bed, lying to your head
Dying? No you are death
If you keep crying, you’ll drown all of us instead
We can only keep up with so much
Bitter taste of love rolling off your tongue
Please just take your drugs and be quiet
Since you want us to get used to your silence
You think we hate you but it’s not like that
Sometimes we have to escape you before we also get upset
Contagious like the plague, you’ll wipe out all of us
You manifest your dread and empathy grabs a hold of us
Chokes us like you would
But some of us see more than this
Some of us have called it quits
Gave our demons a notice
And it wasn’t easy
No no that shit makes me queasy just thinking of it
We get your reasons but you’re living what we don’t miss
Let us leave them
On your own you’ll have to deal with
The darkness, it’s your home
You have to choose to move out of it
You won’t get evicted just because you wished it
You have to predict it
You have to commit to it
You have to keep on trying
Yes you’ll fail if you keep on relying on other people to validate you
“Oh I’m so depressed someone like me to change my mood!”
Let yourself digest that your feelings are being used
But no not from the people who comment
“oh poor you!!!”
I hope in this moment you realize the truth
You are your only opponent
This is not a team game
You’re only ending up alone because you’re accepting the wrong fate
Listen to your soul, not those thoughts on repeat
You are what controls you to be free
Using others sympathy is for the weak
