I know that it’s unfair to expect others to do unto you as you do unto them
But I don’t know how to stop...
I don’t know how to stop giving
Time and energy and hope
Seeing the good in people, having faith
Reaching out no matter how many times I’m ignored
Pushing people to do better, hoping they know I mean well
Keeping my eye out for jobs, furniture, houses people maybe looking for
Buying things that made me think of you
Expecting people to want to see me as much as I want to see them
Expecting people to be inspired to do more
Expecting people to keep me in mind
Expecting people to change
Expecting people to appreciate
Expecting people to do the same for me
So many people have told me to just “focus on me”
But I don’t feel like I’m worth thinking about much
And maybe that’s part of the problem
