Before you step out unto this day
Pause to reflect on your overstuffed ways
An agenda for others that clutters your mind
Your own needs ignored in this unquestioned grind
No time to breathe in your malnourished space
Instead enabling others in an endless rat-race
Now, stop for a moment to defend yourself
A majority of one acceptably selfish
This change in behavior sprouts from down deep
First realizing your worth is strictly for keeps
Prioritize your heart in wanting more
Start embracing your desires as things to fight for
