Breakdown

Lately I've been going through a storm

The kind you cannot shelter from

It's a hurricane from within

No umbrella to shield me from the rain

When all I do is keep others dry

When their soul cries I'm there

Providing my shoulders as a resting place

For them I'll always be strong

But lately my own mind is feeling too heavy

Wishing this bad weather would pass along

I'll always hold someone's burdens

Carry them around with love

Yet lately I lack the power to carry myself

I'll always build someone up when they're down

But now my hands are too sore

To pick myself up from the ground

Sometimes we are so strong for others that we forget that it is okay to have moments of weakness for ourselves, to let ourselves feel our emotions inside. A internal storm that seems to be getting more dangerous but if we allow ourselves to feel, then eventually things will get better. Thanks for sharing!

I love this. I can definitely relate to this Sometimes we get so caught up in helping others that we forget to take good care of ourselves. Great work.

Thank you! And I hope you'll be able to pick yourself up from the ground eventually as well ♥

Hello, Sabi! :)
You seem exhausted. I hope your troubles get sorted. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your response! I hope they'll get sorted too, but time heals doesn't it? And in the meantime poetry is there to express it all :)
