I'm not dependent

How to live my life And fill my dreams 

When I have so much empathy 

I don't know how to combine those two things 

To be there for them and to still live happily

Feels so heavy when I think how 

Heavy and broken they r 

And it feels like it stops me as well

To live this life to the fullest myself

I don't know how I will go on

While they r like that I don't know how long

I'm scared of the thought that I will die like that

Together with their struggles, I will break down 

I know that it's not worth it at all but I have 

always been an empath that cared abt them 

I wish I could help them but I don't wanna be

Always dependent on their well being

Lately, I feel like I'm in a prison cell

In my mind and it's a living hell 

How long will it keep to be like this

I need to find an exit
