It is not your job to save everyone.

Lemme say that again:
It is NOT your job to save everyone!

Be selfless and be kind,
But don't forget to unwind.
Don't forget to focus on YOU.
Don't forget that you go through some ****, too!
Don't forget about your own life.
Don't let them stab you in the back after you've handed them the knife.

You can only give so much of yourself before you are left empty-handed.
You can only do so much for someone before you become aware that they've taken you for granted.
What does it take for you to see that you have been planted?
That life is about personal growth, no matter where you have landed.

We all have our baggage and we've claimed our vices,
But there comes a point in adulthood when you should open your eyes and see how beautiful life is.
It's not about whose picture looks the nicest.
It's about whose internal light shines the brightest.

So tell me, when you see your reflection,
Do you glow or do you burn?
Are you brighter than sunshine or are you ashes in an urn?

"From the ashes we will rise",
Though it may be trite and cliché;
In the end we all get the same prize,
As long as you start the game to play.
