What happens when I just Stop
Maybe I should STOP!
“What Happens When I Stop?”
Why?
If something is broken — I fix it.
If someone is aching — I ache with them.
Never the one to be fixed.
Never the one to be treated with care.
Yet always — always — the one
Fixing things I didn’t even break.
When there’s an issue?
I solve it.
And in the long run,
I start questioning…
Am I the issue?
But I’m tired.
Tired of feeling like I shouldn’t feel for me,
Only for others.
Tired of others not realizing —
I’m literally falling apart here.
See me.
Care for me.
Consider me.
Support me.
Pamper me.
I’m tired — mentally.
Tired — emotionally.
Just… tired.
But I’m trying.
Always trying.
Always caring.
Always being kind.
Always being concerned.
Always considerate.
Yet I’m never… considered for.
Oh no —
I don’t feel this,
I don’t feel that,
‘Cause I don’t work as hard, right?
Oh I wouldn’t know what it feels like,
Because I’m always smiling,
Always laughing,
Always helping.
But I do it tired.
I do it in pain.
I do it anyway.
So tell me —
What’s gonna happen when I just STOP?
