Loving yourself

It's hard to love yourself when people treat you like you are dirt.

 I spend so much time protecting others that sometimes I forget that I, too, hurt. 

This world is too cruel and people need protecting. 

Even if I get hurt, that won't be what I am projecting. 

I live to please and love others. 

My friends, strangers, my sister and my brothers. 

 United we are meant to be, if only people would learn it and see. 

Then maybe I would focus on me.

 I don't know how to love myself first, I never learned how. 

I want to be happy, but I just can't right now. 

So much rests on my shoulders, and I can't let go.

 If I put it on the ones who deserve it, then their backs would surely blow. 

Now is not my time to be happy and free. 

Not when my family pretty much relies on me.
