Burden
Believe in me?
That just means they are begging me to fix my life.
Secretly begging.
Outwardly yelling.
Is how it goes.
When my friends give up, they walk away.
Finally.
When my family gives up…
They still tolerate me for some reason.
Guilty.
I gave up at some point too.
I’m not sure exactly when…
It’s a sad, but peaceful life these days.
No one yells at me anymore.
No one bothers to yell at me anymore.
