A friend to myself

As I think and reflect back on the events of today, it feels like my heart is completely worn out.

Today was tough I am not going to lie, my heart has got nothing left to offer
I realize that it can’t always be me being the one giving, because I have given my all
It’s so hard for me to try to take care of myself, because I feel unworthy of my best
It’s so tough when you’ve been given so much, and have given everything else

A friend to myself, no more trying to put my needs on the back burner
A friend to myself, a tender compassionate heart, trying to heal
A friend to myself, and my heart needs some gentle loving to get through this
A friend to myself, not putting myself down but building me up

Lots of times I try to put others needs before my own but it has worn me down
Lots of memories that are painful to remember, about possibly giving too much
Lots of times I feel like I am my own worst enemy, because I think I am not worthy of love
Lots of times I feel ashamed that my friends need me to be well

I need to refuel and my heart needs a jumpstart
My heart cries out because it feels so lonely
My heart is broken, but I know my God can fix it
My heart is trying to beat, but every time it does I feel the pain
