Poem: I Have No Energy Left

Updated: Jun 21, 2023


I Have No Energy Left


I am not perfect,

Nor am I responsible for

Your emotional manipulation

But still I'm to blame

Because there's no admitting to yourself that you are hurt

And that there are people out there who truly want to help you, and not cause you pain as others have done


Once, twice, three times, you tried pushing me away

On the second, you admitted that everyone has a breaking point, that you're aware how far you pushed me

How sorry you were

But that didn't stop the third time, did it?

There wasn't a fourth time


Once again, I'm reminded that kindness gets us nowhere, other than feeling drained and undervalued.

And yet, I'm terrified of the moment that my heart turns to stone,

Sealed by the certainty of pain


I have no energy left
