My problem

I see their hurt

Through a glass window.

I feel their pain from afar

I suffer more when they suffer.

I try to cheer them

Because I'm trying to cheer myself

It doesn't always work

I'm pained when they're pained

I could talk about my own hurts

But sympathy kills me more than anything

When I see someone else dying

I am the one crying

Not over my loss but their's

When they are graying

I am the one praying

Not for myself but them.

When the storm comes on,

I fear not for myself

But for the one who is afraid.

You can try to hurt me

But you'll hurt me more

If you hurt yourself.

You can try to shame me

But you'll shame me more

If you shame yourself.

You can try to break me

But you break me worse

If first, you break yourself.

This is how I am

I don't want to be this way

But I suffer more for them 

Than me.
