Take Care of Yourself First

The trouble with being empathetic souls

Is the toxic vampires know

That we are selfless and will take on others pain

To ensure that others are always ok

But there is only such much suffering

Any heart and soul can take when attempting to ease others pain

So it's vital the you look after yourself

Take time to meditate, self heal and rest

Heal your heart, spirit and soul

Take some time to be on your own

And soothe your being and let yourself grow

Appreciate your balance and you flow

Let stress and anguish simply go

And center yourself

While maintain control

Let the toxic vampires know

You are stronger now then they can ever know.
