We all have a responsibility to ourselves,
To dig deep to remember how to take,
Responsibility for ourselves.
Emotionally, physically, spiritually.
As humans, we often live our lives taking,
Responsibility of others.
Looking for the reason for our lives,
In others.
We run around, caring and nurturing family and friends,
Living our lives by what we have been shown.
There is nothing wrong with this.
While we are running around, we are often avoiding,
Our own emotional well-being,
And what is important to ourselves.
Some people do not know what that is,
Others may get a glimpse now and again,
The point is we have a responsibility to,
Our self for our journey.
We are not responsible for another’s journey.
Yes, we can take care of others and support them,
Their responsibility of their journey lies with them,
And our responsibility of our journey lies with us.
This is something to ponder for all.
We give to others readily, but often not to our self.
Thus, depleting ourselves of our own well-being.
It is all about balance,
And living in an awareness of our needs,
as well as the needs of others.
It is in the giving and the receiving,
We give what is required by others,
We also have to receive what is required by ourselves.
It is all about communication,
Firstly with ourselves and taking responsibility of our self,
And the communication with others,
And being honest and open with each other.
We have to have the courage to stand in,
Our power, our truth,
And be able to respect our own journeys authentically.
