Poetic Podcast Episode 40

Constantly trying the best you can to be the rock and stand without one. You know they need you but left sad, who’s there if you are the one hurting? It makes you want to cry and yell back, but you recognize they can’t control it. It’s harder than it seems, you think: ‘Maybe I’m the one who needs therapy.’ Viciously taking out their lows on you, because you’re the one within reach. Taking cheap shots you’re their target even if you care about them the most. With each mood swing they lash out only to apologize for it five minutes later. Emotional whiplash leaves a mark you start to second guess your sanity. It’s harder than it seems, you think: ‘Maybe I’m the one who needs therapy.’ I hate to say this but it’s the truth, you can’t be of service and risk yourself. Crying and feeling anxious aren’t normal, an empty cup will become a domino. What made you a pillar will start to fall, the strong can be victims in this crisis too. It’s harder than it steems, you think: ‘Maybe I’m the one who needs therapy.’
