~ Self Apology… ~ 

☆ 

Standing before the mirror,

I apologized to myself

For all this while,

I was pleasing others— at the

cost of my own happiness…

*

Then slowly, I kept losing

pieces of my own exhilaration

Until one day I realized—

I had none left for myself…

As I kept choosing others,

over everything I was…

*

And in the end, there I was —

but not myself anymore

But that apology—

Led me back to my original self…!
