One thing

I made peace

With in 2024

Is that I don't have to

I to go above and

Beyond for others

Who don't appreciate it

I don't have to always

Be it bigger person

Bending over backwards

To keep the peace

I don't have to fix

What I didn't break

Taking on burdens

That don't belong to me

I don't have

Keep showing up

For those who never

Show up for me

Draining myself

Keep their lives intact

And most importantly

I don't have

Sacrifice my own happiness

Just to please everyone else

Life is too short

To constantly put myself second

It's okay to prioritize

My own well being

To set boundaries

And to let go of the

Idea that my worth is

Tied to how much I give
