Selfish

The time has come
for me to be
just a little selfish

The time has come
for me to start
to put myself first

The time is now for me to say
No
Its not ok

To live my life
on my own terms
Each and every day

We all need to find some "me time" now and then...just as long as we don't get TOO selfish. Nice little write.
