Sleep deprived rambles

I will set myself on fire the give you light in your darkest hour.
I will spend countless nights awake making sure you get to sleep alright.
I will skip meals, just to listen to you tell me about your day.
I will do all this and more if I consider you a friend or even just someone in need.
And sometimes. I need you to stop me.
I need you to look past my bright smile and ask me what's wrong.
I need you to call my bullshit when I say everything's fine.
I need you to stop me when I approach turning the world upside down for a trivial matter.
Because I won't stop myself.
I've always put others before myself and I take my greatest joy in helping. But I will go until I break.
I am so determined to take care of everyone who crosses my path, I have forgotten how to care for myself most days.
You're all so amazing and talented and have such wonderful lives and hearts.
I just want to see you all shine.
I want to know I helped make things just a bit brighter.
Keep shining, my friends... Your light gives me strength
