Suffocated by Kindness

A thousand smiles—sharp as knives, Cut through my skin, where dread survives. Warm embraces, sweet like chains, Pull me deeper into unseen pains.Bright eyes glitter with concern, But in their light, I slowly burn. Every touch, each tender word, Echoes loud, yet feels unheard.Their kindness wraps around my chest, A serpent’s coil, a lover's jest. It promises comfort, love, and light, Yet grips me closer, far too tight.I gasp for air, my lungs collapse, Trapped in the cage of caring laps. The weight of empathy—a crushing sea, I drown in what they think will set me free.No room to breathe, no space to cry, Just endless love, a velvet lie. Their softness feels like iron bars, I wish on darkness, pray to stars.Please, release me from this grip, This tender noose, this sinking ship. For kindness kills as surely as hate, And I, the prey, must meet my fate.
