Please, We’re Not Your Trash Can
Emotional dumping is selfish and don’t ever be a selfish
For those of you who constantly telling us your problems,
for those who don’t realize that your complaints and issues are making us frustrated with you …
… please read and hear our plea, please understand our misery.
Do you realize that we actually want to help you?
But instead, we end up feeling annoyed and fed up with you.
We think the time we spend listening to you,
the effort we put into untangling your problems,
and the gentle words we extend,
will help you feel better, help you feel saver.
Yet, it seems, that’s not the truth we face.
You don’t even ask if we are ready to listen.
You keep repeating negative things that tire we out.
You keep complaining, when solutions lie within your sight.
So, why telling us?
why ignored us?
why dumping us?
Please stop being one-sided man, stop being selfish.
Please, we’re not your trash can, we’re exhausted by this.
