I feel extreme betrayal
I have to betray myself by giving others permission
To take until I am left with nothing
I assume it is their responsibility to replenish me
But they do not care about how full I am
It is my own duty to stop before I am empty
I have betrayed myself
chey the poet 
I understand how easy it is to give of yourself without realizing that they are not giving back and are just draining you of every drop. It comes as a surprise that it is our own responsibility to stop the outgoing flow. I have lived this. Thank you for sharing your beauty and talents ❤️
