PEP TALK TO MYSELF

Looking into a metaphoric window,
Somewhere within my imaginary mind.
Feeling somewhat unable to unwind,
Even a carer has to care about themselves;
sometimes.

A Startled thought enters into my tiny brain,
It's not about the care I give to others.
But the care the carers have to give to oneself.
My years of love and devotion to others,
Will never wain. Yet I feel alone, Left out insane.

So looking within my fractured mind,
A tormented soul starts to talk to me.

Okay so your looking for sympathy,
I'm not interested in your symphony.
Of cacophony of a well used life,
Get over it there's more to survive.

Then survive it you will.
