that comes from

overtired under slept

being full on

when those around you

are missing the moment

wondering if this

is how things will remain

running to catch up

neglecting yourself

for herself

doing the things

she likes & needs

never thinking

you might have your own

ideas on living

perhaps a better way

burning your candle

both ends

yet to find a match

begin to light up the world

for herself

& wondering too

what happened to me

that I forgot

to put myself first

how can you love another

if you don’t ever

love yourself

first
