Stop It! - Just- Stop!
I’m tired,
tired of all the drama,
tired of relationships
not working.
Tired of carrying other
people’s qualms on my shoulders
Can’t they see?
Don’t they realize?
They are draining my energy?
Can’t they see I’ve shut down?
My body might,
be present but my mind is not,
with a facial expression
that gives nothing away
people just assume
I’m willing and able
to go on, to listen, to take in and to give advice…
That I don’t need a time out
to establish my needs and my desires…
Would that make me selfish?
To want to be by myself
and enjoy being me
without being a friend,
a shoulder to cry on or
the one person that glue mutual
friendships together?
I’m here but I’m not
I’ m listening but I can’t hear
I’m looking at you but I can’t see
I’m tired
drip dried
all of you are draining me.
See this smile?
It isn’t real
It’s your problem
It’s not for me to feel…
Leave me alone
get off my back
stop pestering me
stop this melodrama attack…
*the day I wrote this one, I just had enough of everybody so this is what I came up with, today I can laugh about it , thinking to myself I was so silly that day ;)*
