Pouring into emptiness
Why is life like this? You pour your heart into people who don't even appreciate it.
You put others first, and they put you last. Feels like you're just an afterthought... like you don't matter.
They say blood is thicker than water, but sometimes it feels like water's thicker.
Are people just naturally cruel? When will they appreciate what I do? When will they say 'thank you' and mean it?
You give it your all, and it feels like it wasn't enough. They focus on what you didn't do, not what you did.
They see one tiny mistake and forget all the good stuff. And you gotta forgive and keep going, even when they keep doing it. It's like your tears just keep running out. 'Tired' doesn't even begin to cover it.
Maybe it's not about them, though. Maybe it's about you finding the strength to pour into yourself, for once.
You deserve love and care too, you know. It's okay to step back and refill your cup.
