You’re not for everyone
but you are most definitely 
for someone

and when you find yourself caught
in the trap of ‘people-pleasing’
remind yourself quickly 
that you are ‘people’ too

and further refresh your memory 
by recalling 
that pleasing everyone 
is not possible

it cannot be done 
just like the sun cannot shine 
on all faces at once

but when it does  
when you are for someone 
it is more than enough

you’re not for everyone 
but it’s the ‘someones’
who matter most 
the ‘someones’
who will breathe you new life 
when your lungs forget how

love your someone’s 
they’re the only ones 
you need
