We pull people/things in around us
and hold them close,
as though they are  life preservers,
when really they're just something
to fill our arms with.
The only one who can save
your life is YOU.
It's time to fill your arms
with something else.
If no one is around,
then give yourself a hug
because YOU are important.
Nurture yourself,
even if no one else will.
Don't wait for anyone else,
just start to live, breathe.
Find one thing today to appreciate,
even if it's only the air filling your lungs.
Just breathe.
