burden
January 3, 2026
are my problems a burden to you?
too inconvenient for anyone to struggle other than you?
how selfish can you be.
you make me feel so unseen
to you. my feelings are so invalid,
to you. my words are so stupid
you make me feel like a fool.
so you feel like a superior tool
to use against me
in any way you can
you tear me down
you give me space instead of just communicating.
but deep down you know that’s not what i want.
you just don’t care enough to put in the effort to comfort me
