Selflessness
A silhouette of youth
Blind to the suffering silence of others
Selfish with an innocent glow at the same time
Mine mine mine I would say
But my lips now voice a different language
This time not a trace of selfishness
Pure selflessness
An open window of beautiful possibilities
An opportunity to fill the world with love and not greed
Now an enlightened body
A sanctuary of Hope
A helping hand to anyone who reaches
Just like the woman before me
