good 1.2

i can be good.

i won’t ask to be forgiven

for the nature of my narcissism

when i’m the one most affected by it,

living in my own body,

tolerating my own soul.

what if apologizing

makes you realize the sickness was ever there?

apologizing.

a responsible idea, and an unnecessary one.

i can be aware.

more aware than i swore i was before.

everyone cares only a little bit

so i don’t have to be good.

but i might as well, for the bit.

maybe.
