SOCS

Lost in my mind

Can’t escape myself

Lest you think I’m insane

I am trying my best

Lists of my mistakes

Haunt my heart

Lust? I lust only for peace

Peace from within.

Last person I take care of

Is always me.

-Nicole Smith, Momoetry

Well written but you taking care of yourself must be in the top of the list. Many years ago I read that when we travel by plane the airhostess tells about the safety measures. She always says first wear your mask before helping others. Regards, Lakshmi
