"Human Pacifier"

by feathernoises

Aren't you getting drowsy? From that rubber feeling being smudged inside With the white lies, you're trying to hide And answers that you cannot find Human Pacifier You feed them hope, you feed them glory You feed them joy, even their exigency You give your lasts and your entirety Did they do the same? Of course, they detect That you're holding unto a Placebo Effect Knows you're stoic and benevolent So they keep sending amenable threats Someday, it will trigger you Your aspired esteem and prisoned wounds Where you realize you need to fulfill "you", Erase the 'shoulds' and do 'coulds' It's not your fault being so tolerant It's meant to happen though it's not meant to stay It's not your duty to be the second hand Just to be used and strayed Recognize your worth You must know when to leave the table When you feel like being disabled, Guard your heart and guard your castle Because prevention is better than cure

Notes

It's okay to be kind but too much is nearly a definition of abuse. Stop feeding others for their satisfactory and start focusing on your betterment. Have you encountered a bond with someone with a great connection then it suddenly disconnects? Do you think it's worth another try?
