i see people all around in paini want to help everyone
but i can't until i
take care of myself.
i am important to the world
even though at times
i don't feel important at all.
someone helps me out when i am down
and i help others out when i am better.
i want to tell others
"thank you for helping me out
when i am down in the gutters.
you pull me up to face the world."
i only help others when i know
i can face the world head-on.
those days are happening more frequently
it's happening because people care.
i can help people out one at a time
but i listen to my own body
so i will know when to slow down.
