selfish...
by Bethany LeeShe was self-centered and wore horse-shades.
Soft come-hithers, 'it will be okay'
Unheeded.
Anger unjustified.
Multiplying tears
Fears of inadequacy running wild.
She feels like a small child
Trapped in a plump body.
All she wanted was a hug,
But didn't take one. 05/14/2008 Posted on 05/14/2008
