Blamed for a negativity I never held,
I stood there with my own heart cracking silently
because everything in me was pure.
Itโs a strange kind of pain
when innocence is mistaken for harm,
when a joke meant to soften the world
ends up breaking you instead.
I swear nothing has caused more problems for me in my life
than my inability to say no or turn people down.
Soft and empathetic nature costs you a lot!
I used to be afraid of losing people
until I realized most of them were
never really down for me anyways.
Even though my loyalty and love for them ran deep,
they couldn't care .
So instead of being afraid of losing them,
I fell back and watched them lose me!
Being a sensitive person costs you a lot!
You always pretend that nothing happened,
Nobody knows how hurt you are,
Nobody knows how much you will overthink a word told by a beloved person,
Nobody will ever understand how those tiny actions matter!
