I wish I didn't care all the time


I wish I didn't care all the time.

It's a blessing and a curse to have empathy and sympathy for people who I care about. I have a superpower and I wish that I could conceal it and never use it, but it's hard when you are a people pleaser.

I'm so difficult to handle sometimes because I don't want to be forgotten or left out. Maybe if I didn't care so much in humanity then I'd be heartless and a piece of shit. I seem so naive but in reality I don't care about what's going on around me. Why because it's so overwhelming for me to try and lend a hand.

 

I'm just one person that probably can't change the mood of the world. Some say I could become a peace maker for what. 

I wish I didn't care all the time. I want someone to care about be me for once. They don't care if I cried. Sometimes you have to turn off the switch trying to save your love ones and trying lend a hand to the world. They don't care if I cried.

 

I wish I didn't care all the time.
