Selfish


is it slefish

to love yourself

to test yourself

and show yourself

to be the only me

and no one else

to push yourself beyond

and not ask for help

to fly so far

so high 

so quick

that nobody ever 

has to stick

because i have

the cloyds

the sun

and love

if thats selfish

im not selfish enough
