I loved so hard, I forgot about me, Pouring my soul like an endless sea. Giving and giving, never a pause, Ignoring the signs, excusing the flaws. I lifted, I carried, I fought for their peace, But where was my solace? Where was my ease? I stitched every wound, I mended their breaks, Yet no one noticed the toll it takes. I stood in the shadows, steady and strong, Swallowed my needs just to keep them along. I silenced my heart, set dreams aside, Until I looked up—where was my light? Now I reclaim the love that I gave, Not bitter, not broken, not needing to save. I rise with wisdom, I walk with grace, No longer losing myself in the chase. For love is a gift, but it starts within, And I will not vanish to help others win. I am here, I am whole, I am finally free, No longer loving at the cost of me.
