I'm sorry for being a burden
I just wanted a hug.
I just wanted sympathy, empathy, validation,
But all I do is give.
I say I don't understand how you're feeling,
I say don't worry,
I say you are amazing,
I say it's ok.
And it is-
In some ways.

I just wish that for once in my life
Maybe you let me receive some kindness, too.

Mylo, I know you're worried rn that I'm talking about you in this but I promise I'm not.
