IF YOU...

by A.N.M. - Pisces

If you talk too much about your feelings
People stop caring
If you talk too much about your pain
People stop caring
If you go on too much about death and such
People stop caring...(especially if it's your own)

People, no matter how precious
People, no matter how loving or concerned
Have limited capacities...
They can only take in so much
They can only deal with so much touch
They HAVE to keep separate
To some extent...
Lest they lose their control
Lest they lose their OWN soul!

Not that they do not care
Not that they do not dare
To intervene in your sorted scene
Perhaps to make some difference...

It's just too much to handle
When there's much on their plate...
Dead-lines and fears of their OWN
Future fate...

Isn't it wondrous?
Each persons intent?
To be righteous
And giving
A hand to have lent
To the ones oh so needy
To feel some how part
Of a spirit of giving
But they're spent
By just living
The day-to-day grind
Not to lose their OWN
Over-whelmed minds...

So it suffices to say
That on any given day
If you talk too much
Bout your pain and such
You will lose the attention
Even with good intention
They just will stop caring....
It's too much
Just too much.
