Filling My Own Cup again.

My heart is not in it anymore

of late.

I have given so much of myself

away.

I am numb, tired

and shut down.

I still care deeply,  about others.

But feel,  I have to heal myself

for me now.

At least for a while.

When you give so much away.

It takes a toll on YOU.

As you are more concerned

about others than yourself.

I love caring and loving others.

Needing to fix me now.

Rest recuperation and feet up time.

With a nice hot cup of tea and biscuit.

You put those feet right up there Dawn girl! You need to recharge, reboot and heal on so many layers after what you’ve been going through. Lovely, sincere poem filled with warmth emotion and pathos. You deserve a Spa Vacation and more my friend. Very moving write.

Good for you!! By golly you certainly deserve it!

From what I've read of you, you've given soooo much to others. If you don't take the time to take care of yourself there will be nothing left of you. We want you to be here! Take care!!

Wow, absolutely loved this piece of poetry. First of all, very well written. It was very relatable and the words on it were even a reminder to continue practicing "self-care." This poem is very encouraging, and uplifting, as well as hopeful.

Thanks for being so motivational!

It's easy for those who care so much for others to neglect themselves. Rest, my friend. The world keep turning while you re-charge.

Wonderful and you deserve time out- we need to recharge our batteries in order to charge others- enjoy the tea and buscuits🌹
