Mid-June

As Mid-June approached, it was clear That those who put themselves first had no fear Amidst the chatter and fuss They didn't budge or discuss Other people's priorities were not their frontier In the fourth person point of view, it's seen That putting yourself first creates a serene Life, full of balance and ease Where worries and stress cease Fantasy and reality colliding in a dream Yes, it's important to care for others But neglecting oneself only smothers The potential for growth and peace And leads to inner turmoil that doesn't cease So prioritize your needs, and you'll discover That standing strong amidst pressure and strife Is possible with a healthy, balanced life Reflecting on the darkest of nights Through dawn and the brightest of lights Putting yourself first is the secret to thrive.
