My Problem, Not Theirs

I have these things Wrong with me And I want to Get them out But I don't want To bother or get In the way of Someone else's Happiness I want to deal With it all By myself But I just can't Yet I don't want To burden someone With my own problems It seems so selfish To dump my problems On somebody else Because it is not Theirs to deal with They are not the one Who is broken, that's me I'm the one with The unhealthy brain That tells me that I am not good enough For other people anyways And I have to agree Because all I ever do Is inhibit others by Making them deal with me And all of my problems That cause daily Troubles for me They don't have to Help with what's wrong With only me and Not them at all I don't want to Put myself before Anyone else or To cause pain Because of what I only go through It may hurt all The same or even More than before But I'd rather never Ask for help if it Is just going to Hurt someone else To know and want To help me go Through life, it's My problem, not theirs So I'll just sit In the back where No one can see And hide myself So no one has to Feel bad about me And I'll stay there Until the end of days Written on December 22, 2020
