Everyday, we may have to,
As humans,
Compromise our lives,
With our time, our responsibilities,
Our commitments, or relationships.
And that is ok,
As humans, there are many,
Aspects to our daily lives,
And we are all doing something, somewhere.
Wherever we are,
Is where we are meant to be,
Whether we are working to earn money,
Or looking after our children,
Or travelling the world,
Or cooking a meal.
What we have to remember,
Is not to compromise ourselves,
Of our being,
Our truth, our kindness,
Our loyalty, our worth,
Of ourselves.
It can be easy to forget,
Ourselves in our everyday life,
In the challenges we are dealing with,
Of which many are out of our control.
We may be feeling stuck,
Or overworked,
Or overwhelmed,
Or helpless,
Wherever we are,
Or whatever we are doing.
Sometimes we have to feel,
These emotions,
To remember,
To have a relationship with ourselves,
And not to discount,
Who we are in our lives.
To acknowledge,
We are not just a compromise,
For anyone.
