Apathy

What once was is no more, but you probably won’t be able to tell the difference. If fact, I’d be surprised if you noticed at all. Perhaps this bridge burned down a long while ago. But if that’s the case… then what have I been walking on all this time?

Forgive Me

For My

Apathy

Do or Don't

I Don't

Care

Anymore

I'm Not Sorry

This Is

What I've Been

Hiding

All This Time

Does It Hurt?

The Truth?

Be Honest

After All

I Am

Not Sorry Anymore

Not Sacrificing Anymore

Not Faking Anymore

Not Folding Anymore

My Honesty

Might Seem Mean

Sudden

Or Even

Hurtful

But I Am Simply

Investing My

Emotions Elsewhere

I'm Not

Putting Myself Last

Anymore

Is This

Careless?

Am I Being

Selfish?

But What About

All The Times

Relationships Weren't Reciprocated

But

One-Sided

From Me Being

Burnt Out

Those Bridges

Have Burned Down

Long Ago

And Now Onward

What Bridges

Are In My Future

I Will Be

Much

Much More

Selective

My Being

Unapologetic

And

Brutally Honest

Maybe Even

A Little Apathetic

No

Very Apathetic

I Am Not

Sorry

Forgive Me

Or Not

This Is My Apathy

About the Creator

Josh Morgan

Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.

    Gosh this was so relatable! I'm learning to put myself first and reduce the intensity of my empathy by becoming more apathetic.
