independance

A Poem by cara

i think it's important for me to listen to myself
im right
i've been right for a while
at least compared to most people
i think it's important
because the less i've asked 
and the more i've taken
the better i've felt
and the less i've forsaken
of course community is what makes sense
everything else is just hullaballoo
everything else is a mental distortion
what the f**k do you mean you don't owe people niceties?
what the f**k do even mean?
being left alone when you need it is a function of community too
i grew up without community and felt myself being pushed into being around people
when i didn't want to all the time
community doesn't mean smothering
it just gives you the option of company
so forgive me if i don't ask you for anythin
forgive me if you no longer feel like a parent to me
you never really have been
so it's to be expected
