I used to believe
I was a fraud
Disguised as a normal adult
For the way my motivation could
Leak out
The bottom of my heal
Throughout the day
And put me on my couch
Thinking ordering food
Was too much work
Letting my phone go unanswered
Because giving out energy
To even my favorite people
Seemed impossible
But slowly I discovered
The dark times
Gave me a superpower
I can recognize the pain in others
Feel it as if it’s happening to me
Instead of putting me in a dark room
It sets me on fire
To fight for them
My loss of motivation led to the most sacred calling
