Selfish vs. Selfless Round 1

written by: Sweet Insanity

I am a truly selfish person.
I think mostly of myself and my own fears, worries and stresses.

I become easily overwhelmed and can't see past my own small problems, then proceed to share them with the world.

I am a taker. I take and take while others less selfish than I, give.

When I think about who I am, I often find myself disappointed.
It is a scary and hurtful realization,
So I force myself to remember that I am a work in progress.
That this is simply one part of who I am as a whole today
And that I can work to change, to improve, to better myself

And once again, here I am, thinking about myself,
"self-analyzing"
Hell, I'm so self-absorbed I wrote this poem

Maybe one day I'll be able to become the person
I hope to be
The person I look at and think, there is a Truly Self-Less Woman
My Mother; who lives life for her children instead of for herself
