ALSO
I have this
SHADOW aspect
I'm trying to 
INTEGRATE
&
BOTH 
of these situations 
SEEM pertinent 


it's this
SELFISH thing

sister kathy 
told me
I didn't care about
ANYONE but MYSELF 

BECAUSE, I think 
I hadn't turned in my SECRET SANTA gift
BUT 
my mom hadn't taken me to get it yet
I was thirteen 

I was PRETTY SURE 
whether I had a GIFT to turn in or not
was not CORRELATED

to WHO I cared about 
THAT didn't even 
MAKE 
SENSE

SO
she said it
to HURT me 

it DID 
HURT

it didn't make SENSE 

& I have this thing
ABOUT 
SELFISH 

I WANT to 
PUSH that AWAY 

BUT 
THAT isn't GOOD 

there's a blindness
OR something 

if you can't ALLOW yourself to be 
SELFISH 

that causes multiple kinds of trouble 

I'm not sure if 
I'm making any
SENSE
