I land as an innocent Girl
Grown under the care
Mom and dad best in their charm
Grow up teen world was different
Classes to go, Challenge to meet
Passion for Future
Clashed with body desire
Closed the Eyes
choose to live a life
First was life and career in mind
Became an outstanding student of time
Money flowed in
Desire raised high
In 23 it was time
For me to make my mind
There came a man
From the old times
Well he was all mine
Was all made me blind
He was smart
took everything from heart
His aim was my body parts
Not the Comment at all
Lived life,Helping others who disguised
Never came to my mind
Make selfish decisions.........
Long gone those times.
Now I live for thee mine
My family is what stays in time
Never Go by the people
WHO come and go by............
ah. we can def become selfish over time...and in that forget about what is really important in like...family though is def there and important...and we cant turn our back on them...
ReplyDeletePoems like this is where the common language shines.
ReplyDeleteSocial mores like to tell us NOT to be selfish. I suppose people with siblings are told not to be selfish. I don't remember telling my kids not to - wouldn't have done a bit of good, they took care of themselves. Being selfish can in the best of ways mean being good to yourself, taking care of yourself first. Just like in the airplane - put on your oxygen mask first and then others, because if you can't breathe you can't help them breathe. And you're right after you family and after that you can decide how much more you can offer - for some it's a lot, for others not so much - we're all made different. I have a friend who is a volunteer who seemingly gives all the time to others, she told me she can only do it because she takes care of herself first. So kudos to you on poem and philosophy. I believe both are good.
ReplyDeleteselfishness is sometimes to care about others too... Love the progression in this poem.. like a story that needs to be told
ReplyDeletegood to keep yourself in the view. opens a lot of perceptions!
