Your ability to distill, capture, and bottle emotions in the form of words will never cease to amaze me, my friend. I saw plenty of shades of myself in this piece, but it's the way that you've shaped each sentence that truly captures every possible angle of what it's like to give everything for the sake of making others happy.
And, as you said, it always ends with you realizing that you were giving 110%, only for them to leave when you no longer serve them. A painful, but all too familiar lesson for me. Amazing work as always.
I'm so sorry this resonated so well with you my friend! It is a bittersweet taste of feelings. I write these to help others, it is a happy moment when it helps. But the need for the help is saddening.
It is a sad but all too true experience for so many of us. This is a love letter to the most toxic trait. I created it for a contest. I didn't place but it was too much to let it fall into the void. I posted it here in the hopes it would find even one person and help them feel much less alone.
Thank you for showing me it has and I am deeply truly sorry that it does.

This is such a lovely piece! There is something so soothing about the imagery, yet an undeniable ache persists in every word!

"What if they see you the way you see yourself" That line got me...great piece!
Thank you so much! That was probably the hardest line to write in the whole piece! 🩵
It’s a gut punch but it has some nuance as well.
