i’m being stubborn
like a child
i don’t want
to give in
i’m being selfish
like a starfish
i don’t want to
let
go
the more i
need to
the more i don’t
want to
and vice-versa
conversely
i’m driving me crazy
slowly
and surely
i’m old enough to
know better
to be good
so surely not
and back and
forth i fight
with myself
never knowing
whether i win
or i
win or
either way
i lose
