Filter

27/1/09
Most minds come with an inbuilt filter
but I had to wait nineteen years before I
taught my self to filter.
And it’s still difficult for me
not to take on the worlds problems,
not to feel a burden from events
that ended years ago.
But I am learning day by day
to limit the amount of horror,
hurt and misery I let myself see.
Because I’ve been overstepping the mark for years
The doctors call it depression
but I just think I didn’t come with an inbuilt filter.
And I don’t know my limits.
