Poem: To You - (A poem for anyone struggling or burning out)

TO YOU who doesn’t recognise their reflection,⠀

Who’s reflex smile is full of deception⠀

⠀

Who's autopilot is to say ‘just tired’ ,⠀

Can’t help it, it’s how your brains been wired⠀

But lieing isn’t something to be admired. 💛⠀

⠀

To you who doesn’t recognise their reflection⠀

Can I please try to change that perception?⠀

⠀

I know you don’t think or feel that strong⠀

but my dear you are so very wrong⠀

⠀

Look at all you have been through?⠀

But wait! don’t linger, look forward too!⠀

Fragments of future memories, happy & new 😊💭⠀

⠀

TO YOU who doesn’t recognise their reflection,⠀

Beating yourself up for failing ‘perfection’⠀

⠀

I know today you feel so far from yourself, ⠀

So step back & focus on your health⠀

⠀

Look after your body until your return,⠀

Self care if not self love a lesson we must ALL learn :)⠀

⠀

Fuel yourself with a nourishing meal,⠀

Sleep let your body time to heal⠀

Watch the notebook, cry, let it out, feel.⠀

⠀

You heal, I heal ⠀

now that’s the deal ☝🏼 💛⠀

⠀

Walk, get your blood pumping ⠀

It’s good for circulation...or somthing 😂⠀

⠀

Tidy, have a spring clean,⠀

Try *keep up your personal hygiene 💛⠀

⠀

(*Which I know today, right now, is hard⠀

but you don’t want to be the receiver,⠀

of a get well soon card!)⠀

⠀

Keep your loved ones close,⠀

remember & appreciate⠀

the little daily things most⠀

⠀

It’s those things you will really miss⠀

Not some ridiculous bucket list. 💛⠀

⠀

I know you feel like your light is dimming...💡⠀

But remember what dory says ‘just keep swimming’ 🐠 ✨
