I find it hindering receiving love I did not ask for
Comfort I seek
Trust that fails tends to scar
When I let myself nest, in what seems to be safe
In someone I hold dear
In their nest, I do not dare to make my bed
Dare to leave my suitcase
Do I believe in the trust I think I feel?
I fire guns in their names
I bring peace to someone else's sleep
Ignoring my own turmoil for their peace
“Didn’t ask to be born as a black hole, a silent tornado between four bedroom walls” - song "Empathy" by - Lauren Aquilina
As the empathy that always seem to drain me
Consume my every waking thought
Maybe I am the thing thats hindering my growth
Moving forward can be exhausting, feeling wrong and hasty
even though its been four years

Oh how life is hard sometimes
Especially when you are someone who gives your all, but the receiving end stays silent.
