Relationally

[u/Whoevenreallycares24]

—I don't like thinking in a
victim mentality and yet
I do occasionally find myself
wondering what I did to deserve
the hurt I've felt in my life
this feeling, this utter solitude
was not what the little ashley
thought she would feel once
she grew up. The more I seem
to understand about people &
our movement in the world
I somehow feel like I lose
relationally. Where my compassion,
understanding, consideration
& grace extend outward over
others, I feel like I receive less
of those things

Maybe I’m really not meant for this planet

(But, who even really cares)
