Report Pending
Not every test needs to be about blood levels,
sometimes… you should run a scan on your heart too.
.
Maybe it’s not your hemoglobin that’s low
maybe your patience ran out somewhere between
“it’s okay” and “I’m tired.”
.
Maybe it’s not a vitamin deficiency,
maybe you just haven’t felt
a little genuine warmth in a while.
.
Calcium seems fine, sure
but your backbone?
slightly bent… from always adjusting for others.
.
And this “I’m fine” report
you keep handing out like free samples
have you ever actually verified it
with yourself?
.
Because the real deficiencies
don’t show up in lab results.
.
They show up in late replies,
in cancelling plans you once looked forward to,
in saying “it’s nothing”
when it clearly… isn’t.
.
But hey,don’t panic.
This is pretty standard these days.
A little broken, a little tired,
a little too good at pretending
welcome to the package deal 😄
.
Just… once in a while,
put yourself back on your own priority list.
.
Before one day the report reads:
Personality: Low
Care for self: Critically low
.
Prescription:
Take a break.
And maybe… take yourself seriously for once.
