I’m indirectly hurt by other people constantly,
Particularly by the way they ignore me
Disregard me
Neglect me.
The only thing I hate more than being ignored is watching the people I love hurt themselves over and over again.
They know it’s a trap they’ve fallen into and they know they shouldn’t indulge
But the pure primal defiance instinct seized their body and renders them weak,
Powerless.

I hurts so much to see that.
Because when I see them hurting themselves,
Over and over again,
I see a reflection of myself.
