I wish I had a double-me

I wish I had a double-me to hug myself right now.
I’ve been through a lot lately, and I’m exhausted.

I forgot to prioritize myself in order to give a hand to people in need.

I’d like to take a moment to breathe and relax.

If I do that, I’m a terrible person.
I tried to reach out, but people refused and preferred not to hear my rants.

I wish I could be invisible for a while so I wouldn’t feel guilty when I say no.

I want to enjoy life, but it appears that I must bear someone else’s burden first in order to obtain what I desire.

The question is, “Do I really need to set aside myself for them?”

I’m feeling tired and I need help too.

If only I had a double-me, I’d tightly hug myself and say, “You can rant, you can rest, I am here.”
