Here is a poem regarding things I have been through recently. This will not be the norm but wanted to share…
For so many years, not realizing there was a problem
I took on a load of responsibility and caring
This was my family and the way I am for them
To be the one to count on and answer bearing
I did not see it as something wrong
It is how I have always been
To take on where others couldn’t get along
And put them ahead of me then
It wore me down, so much for being strong
I started to falter and feel alone in my efforts
The days and years felt as being so very long
Not feeling appreciated or seen for my merits
When finally I couldn’t do it anymore
I could do nothing but walk out the door
So I wouldn’t fall into my depression and act on it
I sought out help finally and it took a bit
I am finding my voice and strengths once again
Realizing boundaries and lines that should not be crossed
It’s hard to put into practice this new vein
Of understanding myself to not be lost
In other’s feelings and needs that are not my own
Making them realize they are not alone
Even though I must not take on their problems
I can offer my assistance in supporting against goblins
So as I take one step at a time
I’m hoping and praying to find
That I have love and understanding
I find happiness and give it longstanding
