A loose collection of thoughts and feelings

9

You're afraid

that I will make the same mistakes you did.

You think you're not strong enough, not wise enough,

so I ain't either.

You're scared of what could happen if I get hurt

because you got hurt.

You think you wouldn't make it on your own,

so I couldn't possibly.

You're so afraid of the things that happened to you and everything that might happen someday

that you don't see me,

you don't appreciate the way I am.

Instead you hate it because it makes you feel less.

You're too focused on yourself to acknowledge my strength.

You hate me because I don't have your weaknesses,

and it breaks my heart

every time.

What is it called again? Right. Projection.
