Selfish

Today I am officially 10 months and 14 days sober from my physical demons. How long has it been for you? A few hours? Or a few years? hope y'all enjoy my poem. Love and good thoughts, Cat

SELFISH

for only thinking of me

SELFISH

 for wanting love for only me

SELFISH

for believing what he said was true

SELFISH

for wishing I wasn't here with the truth

SELFISH

 is what I have become

SELFISH

 only in my denial

SELFISH

for believing in  a heaven

SELFISH

for thinking I'm in Hell

SELFISH 

for wishing he was dead

SELFISH

 for wanting to hate him

SELFISH

 for knowing I can't

It sounds very interesting and gives your states of selfishness along the journey of life.
Have you followed any style to write this piece?

[Cat]

Thank you. I can't honestly say I followed a specific order or template. I have kinda developed it as I have experimented with my writing. I'm sure there is a name for it, but I do not have one. Like I said, I just played with it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I enjoyed this and appreciate your playing with it.
Have a nice time ,dear poet.
