You'll Stick Like That

When someone close to me is upset, it tends to upset me just as much. I empathise too much.

Fast
     Heart
Worried
     Eyes
Creased
     Brow

Mummsy warned,
"Don't care
Too much!"

Daddy advised,
"Don't get
Involved!"

If the wind changes…
          I'll be worried
          Forever.

Not everyone is
Happy.
I can't
Make them.

Learn not to care.
Learn
To
Let
Go.

Those worry lines and the wind changing!
If you care too much it just shows what a gentle soul you are......
you can't make happiness although you can contribute.Happiness must come from within
and be content in ones self.
But its impossible to learn not to care.........you are too creative!

To not care is tough, but to care too much and have to let go, thats even tougher. Beautifully written.

i liked this. it was...light hearted carefree and whimsical. at least those were the feelings conjured up.
there was something underneath it all, too, though...a certain seriousness.

Yes, I remember being told the very same things. After a while as life passes there are some things you can't avoid and, however hard you try, worry will always grab hold of you - usually when you least expect!
And I think caring is an essential part of keeping each other alive as well. Trouble is, it's caring for the right people.....

Like the style and layout.

hmmmmmmm interesting. The danger of not caring is that we can become bitter and cold. So we must learn to still love so we wont become so hardened. We could miss an opportunity for gaining new love.

It is the hardest thing ever to let go and i know. Well Done :)

i feel like i'm on the same wavelength as you, sometimes i care too much and it's extremely hard to just not care.
really good job!

Love never hurts. It is misplaced trust, faith, and expectation that cause pain. We expect too much, we hope too hard or we believe in something just wishing it could be. Caring and loving are good and wonderful things, no matter what and I pray you NEVER lose that ability. Blessings of Peace and Love dear. I enjoyed the read.

oooh...as if this one is in a different time period. I love the poem because it seems no one talks like that anymore.
