Sometimes....

Sometimes, I need to feel like I matter. That I am being heard and appreciated. I continuously put myself last, to make sure those close to me are taken care of. I drop everything to help them if I can, no question. But, when it comes down to it and I reflect....I tend to feel used. I tend to ask the same question, is this all I am to these people? It's like my soul is open and being sucked out of me & pouring into others. I'm not saying it's not a bad thing to be there for others that are close to you, no.

But at what point is enough, enough? At what point is enough, enough? Because I am tired. Emotionally, physically drained. I never expect anything back from anyone. I give, I help because I want too. I also just want to say, "No."  To step back & breathe for me. Breathe life into myself.
