"I am still healing
from the weight of
childhood."

Good gravy these lines!! Talk about a double dose of reality. That constant empathy wears thin, when one has no desire to change the conditions of their sorrow. Especially, when it can be changed. This was just wow, I wish there was a word better than brilliant!!
