Self-absorbed

I never know when I'm a pest
My welcome worn to shreds.
If when I think I see a smile
It's just a cringe instead
or, perhaps, a bit of undigested beef
but I digress.

I start to feel this nagging sense
that I am in the way,
and that my posts and comments
over complicate the day of
others whom I wish were friends.

As I review this post I write
what strikes me is the overuse of "I."
Preoccupied and selfish, clearly.

This gives me pause. I take to heart
this lesson, and for a time (I) will not
darken any door with vibes less than embracing.

Good night. Sleep tight.
