Just Thinking

Feelings,

we borrow so many feelings from others without their permission.

"Borrow",

passing out your happiness without realizing that you may not have enough for yourself.

Enough,

how much is enough? Such a cyclical world of give and take,

is anything truly ours to begin with?

Give and take,

what happens when you take my happiness from me ? Can I give it without the darkness overtaking me?

Overtaking me,

who is the next in this cycle? Who will I then take my happiness from? Who follows them?

Just thinking.
