Self Preservation
no amount of smoke
would ever fill that void left inside your chest
no kind of liquor
could ever wash away the hurt that runs through your veins
no false attention
should ever make up for the love you're lacking
this is why we must care for ourselves
in all that we are
and will never be
because in the end
who else will?

I think we all still try, despite knowing better. You never know, right?
Thank you for the meaningful comment, HF. I hope you will find your truth.

Who else will indeed. Thank you for sharing this! In the end, it is best to be your own best friend. In Qigong, there's this practice of closing your eyes and saying "Hello" to all of your organs, and smiling at them and wishing them well. This made me think of that acknowledgment and self-compassion.

Being compassionate with oneself is such a loving and intimate thing to do. And it helps you grow. What a wonderful tradition, I hadn't heard of it before. So thank you for sharing that knowledge.

I am happy to be able to remind you of this very essential thing we should all do once in a while. In return you have reminded me... Because I just read it again. ;-)
Thank you for your appreciation.
