Be there for others
But never leave yourself behind
Forward thinking, serving them
Forgetting you, how does it end?
This corruption you create
Putting others on your plate
As the main course where you indulge
By constant giving to that fold
You are in this, as you spread
Yourself so thin
That your signs of dread
Sneak through those smiles
That loving way
Constantly giving
Never sways
You yourself will start to groan
Moan and turn and wonder why?
Your drained and giving
Wants you to die
To end this corruption you place on you
Where self loving ways do not view
Itself in the loving support of others
But neglecting, disrespecting this hidden cover
Pushing outward, this "I know"
"I can do" "take care of this"
For you and you
Stop and pause
Breath and be still
Its time to sit and
love and fill
You the one who sees the needs
Of others you want to fill, fill, fill
But empty tanks
Will kill, kill, kill...
A slow and awful state of affairs
When the tables turn where you have to stare
At yourself and all you neglect
Take care of you
Not just all of the rest..
