Self-Respect
When you have given all and it’s still not enough
Ripping, Taking, Consuming everything
Leaving your heart bruised, pained, aching
Your mind a whirlwind of emotions
Confusion building, the tears won’t stop
When is it time to choose for yourself?
To calm your mind and take a direction
A direction without the pain, but a missing and longing
All consuming on its own
Eventually that will fade too
And through the fog, rain, and thunder
All what is left is self-respect
Can I live with that?
Yes, I can
