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
