Taking Care

Taking Care Sometimes taking care of yourself me is not easy to do, causes aches Makes me cry in the night Lift heavy heart to the day Let the pieces start to mend Sometimes taking care of yourself me Causes grief beyond measure Hurts more then myself To be free of the poisonous grip To get away The hand reaching out to choke Sometimes taking care of yourself feels not like taking care. Though I feel, Inside now, eventually all will be Crookedly mended, glad spreading throughout a tenuous thread of beginning

Some of us choose to take care of everyone else, leaving ourselves at the very end of a long list. It is a dangerous place to be. Thanks for the reminder.
