Sometimes you gotta talk your own self off the ledge.
I’m gonna sit there with you and I’ll sit there in the dark with you while you’re sitting on the edge, but I can’t talk you down.
You can’t count on me like that.
I’m right here with you for you.
Anytime you need anything, I’m here for you.
But don’t count on me to carry you..
when I’m carrying the weight of the world myself.
I can’t do it all.
Please don’t expect me to.
It’s not fair to me or you.
I’m falling apart and trying to keep you together.
But I can’t take care of you when I can’t take care of myself.
Sometimes you have to be your own motivating voice.
You have to take responsibility for yourself and walk away.
You can do this.
I believe in you.

I’m sure there are people everywhere who can relate, but this is just a comment that we must all be accountable for ourselves and cannot rely on others for our happiness or our success. Ultimately we must take ownership of our lives and choices. While we have those who will be there beside us through difficult times, it is on self to make the first step toward better. Take the helping hand, but reach back and help others. Don’t rely of everyone else to pick you up every time you fall.
But no, not directed towards anyone in particular.
