No Joke

Yes..,
I need to balance empathy with my own nourishment,

It’s no joke that,
In my opinion,
Too much empathy,
Will make me so sad to the point of burdening others..,

I’ll just remain crying and crying while not realizing the empathetic distraction I’m creating..,
I agree it’s hard to hear,
I certainly do..,

Yep..,
It’s uh..,
It’s kinda complicated right..?
Yep..,

I’m now becoming even more repetitive,
And IF I become so repetitive to the point of NOT realizing how I’m accidentally screwing everything up..,
Then..,
Where will be the.. umm.. you know what(?) never mind,
I’ll stop,

Because if (here comes a figure of speech)..,
I’ll start again..,

Okay so,
Because if I paddle into a whirlpool of empathy,
I might accidentally suck others down who are counting on me to fulfill my work-related tasks in a way that’s mutually fair..,
So as for trying to connect other figures of speech..,
Although balance is important,
Essentially,
If I spiral too deeply into empathy,
I’ll reduce chances of swimming back up to the surface of self-nourishment..,

Whatever..,
I apologize if reading this was another distraction..,
Love you all,
We’ll hang in there,

Inhale..,
and then the exhale
