I tend to
Take in other peoples
Depression and anxiety,
Their sadness and overthinking,
Their unworthiness and heartache.
I tend to
Heal those around me
And make sure their
Happy smile is plastered
Upon their chapped lips.
I'm like a black hole
Expect I take in
All the darkness;
I take in
All the evil;
I take in
All their doubts and worries.
Every once in awhile
However,
I tend to
Take in perspective
My own mental health
And I then realize
That I care more about
Others
Rather than my own being.
It's not suppose to
Be like this.
I'm suppose to
Put myself first
And love myself
Endlessly from
Day to day.
Yet, I have such
A adoring heart
That I ignore
My feelings
And put it aside
To heal others.
I'm like an aurora-
But instead of
People taking in
My beautiful
Rays of light,
They get attracted
Like a magnet
And somehow
They know
I will heal their
Weary hearts
And shaking hands.
Mind you,
I need to heal
Myself
Before you.
I am
Just as
Important as
You are.
