In conjunction with World Mental Health Day last week, here's a poem I wrote as a reminder for us to take extra care of ourselves on days/moments when we don't feel our best for we are only human.

And, we, of all people deserve the care and love we so willingly give to others.

In times like these, it's totally alright to just focus on ourselves for the time being.

And most importantly, not let the shame and guilt of being a burden to others stop us from reaching out when we need to.
