The feeling of feeling uncared for

5/28/22

If I wasn't there,

would they notice?

If I didn't call,

would I hear from them?

If I wasn't to help,

would they love me?

If I didn't try,

would we be strangers?

Fear and love are instinctual.

One flourishes into action

and the other festers in thoughtlessness.

Weary of words of assurance.

Am I irrational?

Is my pride connected to the "if I"s?

Insecure?

Are some treatments

and the others placebos?

Are they all feeding the disease?

Or is it just me.
