Selfless or Selfish?

I want to start a family when I’m older.

I want a husband and babies to care for. 

I want to show them unconditional love.

I want to care for them and provide and have a family and I want to give my entire life to them.

Some may assume I am selfless for giving myself to others so willingly

only

the true reason i want a family is much less charitable

i want to start a family when im older

i want a husband and babies to care for me 

i yearn for them to show me the unconditional love i never received 

i want them to tell me im worth something

that i am not a nuisance and that i am appreciated 

i am no selfless woman

i am only privy to my own gain

they are right about me 

but if human purpose is to love

why is it so hard to love me

poetry #1 (go easy on me)

Dilemmas of a small creature

I’m a porcupine 

I’m sharp edged and dangerous 

I hurt to touch

It is too much effort to love something so difficult to grasp 

I want to love you

I do!

But I will hurt you

It is plain to see when you look at me 

Is it too much to ask 

For you to form callouses and grip me still

I promise I won’t shake 

I won’t drag my needles across your hands 

And if I do 

I’ll lick the blood from your fingers 

so that it doesn’t stain your clothes
