Sink/Source

by CautiousRain

I'd be such a good girl for you, making sure to cram and compartmentalize every piece of me into whatever shape you'd prefer; I've never known any better. It's what I've always been told. If I'm not here to make you happy, then what is my purpose? I've never known to take care of myself, but I would take care of you in a heartbeat. I don't know how to stop, I don't know how to love correctly, and I definitely don't know how to be loved. If I keep giving, what does it mean if you give back? I think I'd feel nauseated knowing you spent so much energy into me. I'm not your sink, I'm the output source and I'd never let it be the other way around.

And this is why I need to heal and get out of the fawn response. I don't have to do this to be loved.
