If I could string my every thought of
Selflessness together, they wouldn't even
Reach from one cell of mine to
The other.
All I do is for me.
I have abandoned the thought that
Hate pulls the Universe apart.
Fear does.
Fear that someone will see us
As the selfish little souls we are.
All the good you do is for yourself.
So do it.
Feeling good about
Smiling at a stranger or leaving
Change in that ******'s cup
(Mostly because it's Christmas, or
Spring, or whatever),
Does not make the act worthless.
Embrace your humanity.
It's ok to be selfish.
So what if you'll never be
Mother Teresa?
You know; she might have been
No better than you.
She just did it all anyway.
Eat, drink, breathe, serve.
A saint feeling good about being
A saint, is no less one than another.
