Self-sacrifice

by Bruce Alan Humphrey — Read all 55 poems by Bruce Alan Humphrey

For those who will not let life drag them down.

Saturday, February 18, 2023

Life makes me bleed.

But I will help even though it hurts.

I will endure even though I suffer.

 

I will not be broken.

I will continue to help others.

I will always be there with a helping hand.

 

I can be consumed with hate.

But I will not repeat it to others.

I will show compassion.

 

Anger can swell in me like a storm.

But I will control it.

I will not cause anger in others.

 

I will sacrifice myself for others.

I will sacrifice myself so that others will not sorrow.

I will sacrifice myself for my family because it is my everything.

Truly beautiful, Bruce.

From your background, I don't think this is you writing but you are writing for others a mantra for them to recite as they look at themselves in the mirror every day. I remember seeing that being done on Saturday Night Live by one of their writers, Al Franken. His fame got him elected to the Senate and then resigned under claims of sexual harassment.

Certainly don't need to look in the mirror and read that one. Many may need to.

Lofty aspirations and goals and although not always attainable if a person keeps trying than all is good.
