There is nothing sacred
about being selfless, pushing
your own needs so far down
you forget your true name.
There is nothing selfish
about saying no to the endless
demands and task lists of others,
and saying yes to the light
that brings you alive—so full
of your self, people edge closer
just to bask in the warmth
of your leftover glow.
