Reserving a Slice of Serenity

I'm taking back what's mine, you see, Saving some of me, just for me. In this space, I feel so free, Learning to love myself, finally. I used to give until I bled, Putting myself last, instead. But now I know I must be fed, Before I can give to others, ahead. It's not selfish to love oneself, To take time to rest, and for health. For in doing so, we gain much wealth, A life of balance, full of self. So I'll continue on this journey, Learning to love me, without hurry. And in this place, I'll always be, A person who loves, herself, carefree.
