"I won't if you don't want me to"
I want to, but I don't want to hurt you.

"I don't mind-really!"
I mind, but I don't want to hurt you

"I've been clean for years"
I drank last night, but I know it will hurt you.

"Nothing's wrong!"
So many things are wrong, but I don't want to hurt you.

This
Life
What this is
Is a bunch of people
Doing their best
Not to hurt
Everyone else.

Screams
Yells
What this is
Is a bunch of people
Hurting so bad
That all they do
Is help others.
I've learned that basically what life is is everyone doing their best not to hurt everyone else. To those of you who are doing this: Darling, do something for you. Talk to him. Tell her. Sing what you want. Bring yourself out to lunch. Read a book because it's what you want to do.
God asks us to care for others. He doesn't ask us not to care for ourselves.
Take a moment and care for yourself.
