Cynara Naila Salsabila
Self sacrifice 

Always putting others first 
abandoning yourself 
so that others can reach the shore
“It's better this way” you tell yourself 
But is it even heroism?
Or is it fear hiding behind self sacrifice?

There's a tug in your heart
Whispering “truths” 
That it's better to let your candle burn and melt
To light other's way
“You must be kind, must put others first,
Just like how I did”
Your mother once said.

So you continue 
To break your mirrors to help people see themselves,
You let yourself starve to give others food
But what about yourself?
Will you continue to self destruct for others sake?
Would you drown yourself to save someone drowning in a lake?

You tell yourself 
“It is heroism and I'm doing what is right”
Yet you are blinded by the fact

You break yourself for others to feel valuable 
Because deep down
You don't believe you are.
