I used to wanna save everybody
Now I just wanna save what’s left
Of myself now.
Strength diluted in each foray,
Compassion stretched too thin,
Rescue efforts for the masses.
But as parts of me crumbled,
Splintered hopes lay scattered,
I learned to choose preservation.
Blurred lines of duty and sacrifice,
Burdened with their broken pieces,
Did little to mend my own.
Strained, exiled fragments of a heart,
Yearned for a respite, a reprieve,
A flicker of savior for my spirit.
In my quest to salvage humanity,
I slowly began to unravel, unwind,
Watching shards of me slip away.
So now I redirect my focus inward,
Gathering what strands remain,
Building a fortress of self-love.
I am no empty vessel, void of worth,
For while I once strived for grand rescue,
I now prioritize my own survival.
In finding solace within myself,
I unearth strength to face the battles,
And preserve what’s left of me.
No more martyr, sacrificing whole,
I embrace the healing of my core,
Saving what’s left, my soul restored.
