Revelation


My change is recent

I realized I have to treat myself decent

I got rid of some toxic people from my life

And from new ones, took subconscious advice

It is okay to put myself before everyone else

Sometimes it's better for my mental health

 

To stop, if something is bad for me

No matter how long I had been a part

Of a job, a sport, something leaves debris

On my heart

Then I need to set myself free
