Sticky Note Thoughts

whens the last time i was genuinely happy?

when you held me close
so tight that i felt nothing but love
the whole world around me and all its problems vanished 
but then theres that switch in my brain
that switch that turns it all around

made me realize you werent holding me
i held YOU.

at the time i needed you most i was YOUR support
helped you through one of the most difficult times of ¨your¨ life

weird how my brain works right?
my last time ¨genuinely happy¨
was helping you cope
while i was drowning in my own sadness

every muscle hurt from all the crying i did
i needed you but that wasnt important to you

you got the support you needed while i stayed here 
stuck in a rut
in a never ending cycle of pain

but at least i got to imagine
how it might feel if you cared.

Interesting poem that showed your internal epiphany in a truly great way. "that switch that turns it all around made me realize you weren't holding me i held YOU."
