Had tried to save something!!!

Had tried to save something, perhaps it was “dignity”

That I lost my priorities in the process of giving honor to everyone around

 

Had tried to save something, perhaps it was “self- respect”

That I depleted my own reserves to the point of complete emptiness

 

Had tried to save something, perhaps it was “intimacy”

That I scarcely realize no matter how much I yearn for it, it only encourages resentment and violence

 

Had tried to save something, perhaps it was “happiness”

That I finally realized at this age one has to shift focus to cultivate inner happiness and self-love

 

Had tried to save something, perhaps it was “trust”

That I gained a realistic view of people around me because as the relationship goes further and as the mask falls off, people tend to reveal their true nature

 

I tried to save something, perhaps it was “balance”

That I find it a constant challenge to maintain a healthy work-life balance in today’s hectic work environment

 

I tried to save something, perhaps it was “color”

That I have started losing my own vision trying to adjust the perceptions of different people as I age

Author's Note

Don't lose your dignity and self-respect trying to make people accept, love and appreciate you, when they just aren't capable.

In today’s world, no matter how right your actions are, you can’t please everyone and some will still find a way to drain your strength.

Exactly, and no matter how much we try to neglect these issues and focus on the positives, somewhere it leaves a scar which even time cannot heal.... thank you for such a lovely review
