Helpless
Instead of fighting- I can let them believe they are helping.
What really hurts is the kindness that resides beneath their frustration.
I can choose to become more distant.
So that I can escape the moment of their embrace which renders me even more powerless.
Because they are trying to convince me that we can take back control of my struggles together.
But I would rather continue this life, numbly-
Rather than wistfully.
