Hey people pleaser

sadkw33n

Hey people pleaser, do you feel alone? 

Putting everybody's needs above your own

Do you feel like there is nobody to care for you? 

Or somebody to help you the way you would do?

I understand that you don't want to cause a scene

But is it worth it when the price is your peaceful sleep?

You don't have to say you're sorry when it's not your fault 

You don't have to put the toxic ones first anymore

I know that you don't wish to hurt anyone

But it's tiring to be the punching bag for everyone 

It's not selfish to protect yourself or your mind 

Because living a good life is your birthright

You don't have to always do for them what you're told 

You don't have to play the idiot anymore 

It's okay to raise your voice when they hurt you 

It's okay to take some distance to protect you 

I promise, to take care of you is not a crime 

And fighting for your dignity, well that's alright

So take sometime to heal and be yourself

Put the dirty words and comments on the shelf

You're always there to stop their fall

Somehow you wish to save the world 

Hey people pleaser, your heart is gold, your touch is kind 

But, hey, people pleaser, try to save yourself this time

  • Comment from author about the poem: Putting your wishes above someone's needs is selfishness. But putting your needs above someone's wishes is self-respect, and it's not wrong to take care ofourselves... let's be as kind as we can to other people and ourselves.
