It's Okay

It's okay to say no and carry on your way..
Know that you are worthy, don't heed what others say.
Some will take advantage, and steal your precious time..
It's time to prioritize your own peace of mind.

No need to explain or defend, your needs are worthy of care.
You've given more than enough, this we can declare.
Let go of guilt, welcome self-respect, and honour your own self-love.
Grant yourself the power to choose, and recall all you've read from above.

Very wise words penned dear poet, if we don't take care of ourselves, we are unable to take care of others rightly. Thanks for sharing, love
