Co-dependency



You are a rescuer
You sweep down on people
In their hour of need

You surround them daily
Offering your services
And giving them advice

You think it is healthy
And that you are important
And being helpful

But it actually causes problems
Because your co-dependency
Makes others dependant on you

It brings hurt to them
And also to others
As it shows favouritism

And that is not healthy
It is actually distracting
To those around you

It causes people to talk
And gossip behind your back
As you love some and ignore others

The behaviour is unhealthy
For you and for them
As it causes divides in the ranks

Take a step back
And look at the chaos
And the lives you have turned upside down
