Busy

[tamka38]

I lied and said I was busy.

I was busy;

but not in a way most people understand.

I was busy taking deeper breaths.

I was busy silencing irrational thoughts.

I was busy calming a racing heart.

I was busy telling myself I am okay.

Sometimes, this is my busy -

and I will not apologize for it.

Good for you. We often feel guilty enough. No need to add to the guilt for taking self care.

You may feel low yourself but you are still helping others. Just look at the response to your words. ❤️
