I look around, seeing many in agony.
I lend a hand, I tried to think of a way out.
I look around, seeing many needed help.
I spare some time, tried to ease their burden.
When I look at me, I only ask myself to go for it.
To work extra hard, and relieve those with agony, and help those with burden.
After a time, my mind still on it, but my body gave up.
Then, and only then, I take a good look at myself in the mirror and realise
how I've let myself go.
How little I think of myself. How I've been neglecting my needs.
Now I made a promise, to see myself first before putting others on my view.
All the time of putting myself on the very last line of the list is over.
For now I realize that to take care of others, I need to take care of myself first.
Selfless isn't wrong, but you can't do anything if yourself isn't as strong as your will.
