poems of a broken girl

#3 The sacrifice

you know
I can hear them talking
they say
I care too much
but for me
everybody else
is more important
than I was

I don't want to hurt them
I don't want them
to feel bad
can't see emotions
in their eyes
too much for me

people say
it's empathy
but it's more
can't see how deep it is
just feel the weigh

if everybody else
could disappear
maybe I could live
but that's not an option
'cause without them
I'm nothing

what could I do?
if they feel bad
I do too

so what?

I won't hurt anybody
I won't break your hurt
but what if
with all that
I'll break my own one?

What else could I do?

if it's me against the world
who cares?
if it's me or the world
who cares?

there's a bond between me
and the people I love
it's out of emotions
if they feel scared
what should I do?

I feel lost
in this sea of emotions
I don't get it
can't swim
just try to
stay afloat

who cares what I feel?
I don't
but I care what you feel

you feel nice
and I'm the sacrifice
