lycanthrope if you have a self, you're already selfish. It's saying these are my boundries. This is what i want. It's not maybe what you want. it's something that must be negotiated. The only saving grace about humanity, is that generally speaking, we can't do too much to help others without also helping ourselves. The same cannot be said of helping ourselves though. 020313

My ego lives within you.

Sintina A word that hurts.
But why?
Everyone needs to be
a little selfish.
You can't help others
without helping yourself,
For those in your care will see
how you care for yourself.
you can't know others
without first knowing yourself.
Selfish- so much negativity.
We all hate to be called selfish, because the fear is always there.
any of us has crossed
and will continue to cross
the line of basic,
neccessary selfishness
to toxic, grasping, uncaring selfishness.
It is a daily struggle between the self and all outside-the-self.
For if we don't care for others,
others won't care for us.
But sometimes the only way
to help is to step back
and this is always viewed as selfishness.
Do good and you will be accused of
selfish alterior motives.

Do good anyway.

f don't be selfish, don't swap the plates around, they won't take you to the hospital, they will wait until you have passed out then burry you in the sand pit you have just helped dig out,

don't be selfish, and don't always run away from things as if there is something better to find, there isn't.

.......you will always find yourself,
in whatever way you are, sad, happy, guilty, sorry, .... you are running into yourself again and again so don't be selfish and stay there until you rot and become bone.

like it matters whether you see your fucking family again, be happy you were born, how selfish are you
? you spoilt little waste of space that needs to sleep all day because she doesn't want to be alive.

why want help then? did i ask you to give birth to me? NOOOOOOOOOO i didn't, so fucking stab me or poison me .......... i'm not going to kill myself because i am SELFISH.

Risen What do I need?

I need you, here, in my life. I need your hands, there, just there, and don't stop writing me, holding me, straightening my spine and signing to me in a language only we understand.

I need you to smile at me, and reach out, and let me know that it is all going to be ok. I need you to keep your promise. Come here, share my world, give us that one night.

I need you to understand, I need you to forgive. I need you to be a little bit jealous because I need to know you care. I need you to miss me. I need you to write me into your veins, and I need you to tell me that I am still caught in the back of your throat, that my name is still written on your skin.

I need you here, in my life, I need to be able to reach out and feel like I am coming home. I need you to know that I love you, and I need you to believe in me. I need you to miss me. I need you to want that shared wavelength and the kink and the smiles and the meeting of minds. I need to hear you gasp my name, and I need to feel like I am understood. I need to know what you are thinking and I need...

I need everything. I need anything.

See? Selfish
