Choose You

Choose kindness

Choose yourself

Choose kindness above all else

And dare to accept nothing less

Commit to showing kindness always,

First & foremost to yourself

Remember that you inherently

deserve the best

In every circumstance you find yourself

(That one stands alone, but anyway it still works with the rest)

Just for breathing and being here

You deserve kindness and thoughtfulness

And you shouldn’t have to ever beg,

Let alone even make a simple request

If those around fail to comprehend

That kindness is the truest intent

That kindness is your requirement

Please don’t hesitate to separate from them

Because sometimes the very kindest,

wisest thing you can ever do

is just remember to choose yourself.
