Questioning who I am.

  • Today I was told I was manipulative…
    And that I used sympathy for attention
    I am not fully sure what that means…
    But; its made everything feel different.

    Am I truly this way?
    A kind of monster who preys?
    Is how I am wrong in some way?
    Do I only cause pain?

    I tried my best to be kind
    To give everyone time
    Show love to those alone
    And make people feel valued

    But perhaps if I was watching
    Looking from the outside in
    I would see what these people claim
    And be disappointed at my existence.

    I have a lot of feelings right now
    And they are all so intense…
    Nothing makes sense,
    My world is a mess.

    I don’t think you’re that way or that you’re a monster that preys. How you are isn’t wrong in some way and you don’t only cause pain. All we can do is try our best and you always do that. Nobody is perfect so there will be times people misunderstand but that doesn’t mean you’re a monster.
