      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today
my mind is for ME</p>

<p>Not the world&#39;s problems
Not my friends&#39; problems
Not my loved ones&#39; problems
ME</p>

<p>They are all so important
But if I worry about them
I&#39;ll be consumed
By tending those flowers
I&#39;ll forget all about my own</p>

<p>It&#39;s not
that I don&#39;t care
It&#39;s that I DO care
too much</p>

<p>So today
my mind is for me
I&#39;ll take my time
Focus on being         me
And taking care of    me
And loving                  ME</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I will listen
to all       of your problems
offer support the best I can
but you must        understand
that there will be a point
at which I reach        my limits
and I must take care of myself</p>

<p>It is possible
to care for you      while caring for me
and I will find that balance
so long as you     are fighting your fight too
I will not be the only soldier in your army</p>

<p>I will follow you     as long as you lead
I will help you        without doing it for you
I will love you        while loving myself</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I care
too much</p>

<p>Obsessed with the idea
that everyone should be happy
I toss my own feelings aside</p>

<p>Even when I try
To say “This is how I feel”
It&#39;s so easy for my words
to be lost in the waves
of other&#39;s feelings</p>

<p>When I try
I fail
So how
    can I ever
         learn
              to succeed?</p>

<p>I need to listen
to my body
to her needs
I need to honor
my boundaries
I need to remember
it&#39;s okay to struggle now
so I can be better later</p>

<p>I care
about everyone else
It&#39;s time to start caring
about me</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#39;t control
how anyone else
         FEELS
I don&#39;t control
what anyone else
         DOES</p>

<p>They can choose
how they feel
    about me
They can choose
how they want
    to treat me</p>

<p>My actions
might HURT them
might UPSET them
might ANGER them
but that wasn&#39;t my intent
I did what I thought was right
     for me</p>

<p>I control me
Only me
Their feelings
good or bad
are theirs
They are not
       my responsibility</p>

<p>I am responsible
     only
    for me</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>sharing my light
has always been easy
carrying others
smiling and supporting
crafting just the right words
to brighten their hard days</p>

<p>i give and i give
and never ask
for anything at all
they take and take
never offering anything</p>

<p>when i have nothing left
i explode
burst into a fireball
of anxiety and pain
hurting everyone close to me</p>

<p>why
why do i do this?
i get so lost
in the joy of helping
that i forget
the most important thing</p>

<p>I have to help ME
I deserve love too</p>
