Even the strongest people break

​There comes a time for each and everyone of us 

There comes a time when we break 

Because even the strongest people break 

And too often we stay silent,

Too often we don't care about our pain 

Too often we're too busy fixing other people's pain, 

Healing their wounds and making them stronger, 

We give them a merge of strength, but we never notice 

That these bits of strengths we're giving people 

Are being taken away from ours.

[Echoes of Eros]

These words ache in the giving, in the breathing. Yes, too often we give all we are and there is nothing left for us. Help us remember that through your sighing, lingering light, dear poet.

Your words made me think of this song that I just heard. Brave by The Shires. Sometimes you don't need to be brave; you need to rest and heal from the giving. xo
