I have always given myself away selflessly

others do not have to earn me
I hand myself over freely
I will do anything for another
I have immeasurable compassion
I put myself out to benefit others
I place myself at the bottom of the list

...slowly I am realizing I cannot give myself away anymore
I need to allow others to {earn} bits of me
I am the one who falls hard
by giving myself so freely
it is okay to help others out
but it doesn't have to be at my expense
it is a unique gift to have genuine compassion
but I don't have to put others needs or desires ahead of my own

I need to treat myself with the same selfless immeasurable compassion
that I am so willing to give freely to others
