Your pain is not a gift.
Don’t be burdened
if they don’t rejoice to receive it.
Don’t
let the lack of a correct response
ebb your purge.
They don’t understand.
Of course, they don’t.
They are not you;
They have not suffered
your black holes.
Do you wish them to?
Don’t
brush away their sympathy.
It is the price you pay
to have someone
care enough to listen.

Your pain is not a gift.
Don’t be burdened
if they don’t rejoice to receive it.
Don’t
let the lack of a correct response
ebb your purge.
They don’t understand.
Of course, they don’t.
They are not you;
They have not suffered
your black holes.
Do you wish them to?
Don’t
brush away their sympathy.
It is the price you pay
to have someone
care enough to listen.
