I hate feeling
Dumped on
Someone else’s
Negative emotions
I’m an easy target
Usually compliant
Calm and collected
Stuffing their garbage
Down my throat
Deep in my repository
For other people’s trash
Until I vomit it all up
One day
Resentment never sits well
In my stomach

I like the way you describe this feeling. I’ve felt this way myself. You describe it perfectly.

I Love it, Jason! I have felt exactly that way myself. I just nominated you for the Blogger Recognition Award. I have listed you on my last blog and stated the reason I have nominated you.

Nicely done. I used to be an easy target as well but I recently woke up and put a stop to it.

I felt that in my chest. But, we’re stronger than that now-aren’t we?

Thanks! I am glad it affected you that way… learning boundaries, to say no, asking for what you need… all a process

Oh wow….this is so accurate on so many levels for me haha Feeling like a receptacle of other people’s dirty laundry…..The other side to being a listening ear; you don’t just get the good, you get the bad mixed in too.
