You carried her on your back because it felt right to you

Because you knew she would die in the shark infested waters

And we argue back and forth

About our agendas

Do I do this for you

To have power of you?

To avoid my own needs?

To increase my popularity?

Or could it be that I’m an empath

Valiantly trying to manage my big kind heart

In shark infested waters?

I may not always get it right

But if you don’t mind I would like to carry you on my back for a little while.
