And then you realise,
You have to be your own hero, because everyone has stuff to do.
You are not the sun, with boundless energy to spare with the world.
All the love and hope you spread to the ones you love.
Take some for yourself......not because you need to be selfish.
But because you can't help another if you yourself do not have energy.
It would be wonderful if they care, but they are not you.
You have but yourself in this world.
Do not lose yourself to someone else.
Love you. Help you. No one else will even if the must, should, could or want to.
Lots of good intentions in the world no doubt.
But you can't wait endlessly to be saved or helped or loved.
No can love you like you.
Be your own hero.
Be your own comfort, your own light.
Give yourself the wings to fly.
