Maybe because I’m someone
that is always worrying about my worth
I am very cognizant of giving love
and affection.
Of making sure those around me
and those I care deeply about
recognize that they
are loved.
but more importantly,
being there
when it truly counts.
So I have very little patience
and very little respect
for those that do not.
Who prioritize themselves first,
who don’t,
show up.
