I put my body on Do not disturb Matter fact I took the batteries out my back so I do not work I am emotionally non-existent for the many times I existed For the many times you said you missed it I never resisted I let you enjoy my recordings I let you bring out what was already embedded in me You just wanted an experience but my body wouldn’t even let me be I told you I am feeling some way You gathered your things so quick I knew you didn’t want to stay It’s okay I’ve prepared for this many times I stared at this Thinking if I know you’ll leave let me disable my voice and let you breathe Let you exhale off my energy And it was so **** draining you didn’t even realize how big my pain is killing me Ive mastered detachment now So it’s cool when my batteries roll out I made it that way See me and my body have created some space Where I take away what you think you drained Putting my consciousness on DnD I don’t know who you think I am or what you see in me But now I’m at my peak I do it so much I don’t even blink I just lay there numb wishing my electricity leak So you won’t have me you energy harvesting FREAK
This poem explores emotional detachment as a form of self-preservation. It speaks to the exhaustion of giving too much to people who don’t recognize or appreciate the weight of your energy. It’s a raw, unapologetic acknowledgment of the pain that comes with constantly being drained, and the powerful decision to protect one’s self from further exploitation.
