Me and Me

A selfish yes
An unkind no
Blind eye to pain
Deaf to insane.

Pray how 
does one retrace
for to find    that forgotten face 
to touch   that trembling hand
the soft unheard   to hear
the blank unseen   to see.

Pray how 
does one unchain
a lifetime of links   serpentine...
    I hooked to me
    me addicted to I
I for me
and me for me.

All the ways and all the days
all   of the all   of everything
that always be
just for me.

What's important is #1 and should always be that way. I felt that way for most of my life, selfish & arrogant. In a way I am still arrogant, confident but my selfishness has dwindled. I am now the father of two beautiful young girls. I cannot be that way any longer. I feel this write. Welcome to the soup and I have no doubt you'll fit in well here. Much love Asavvy1

A belated response Jared... thank you for your read and for taking time to comment. I agree with you about children. They push one past the myoptic lense. You are fortunate! Children are a blessing.
