Everything to Everyone

Does it seem as if
you are being left behind?
You are forgotten and hidden
in the crowd around you?

When you spend your life
giving of yourself
to everyone else but you,
trying to please
wondering if you succeed
hoping the sacrifices
are worth all the tears and sweat.

Do you feel alone?
Question your decisions?
When you are everything to everyone
you’re left behind, in the dark
no time for you.

Give yourself grace
walk away and reflect
console yourself without regret
    and be everything to you.
