we give up
the luxury of suicide
when we have children
it ceases to be an option
because you are no longer
living for yourself
oh, if only i could be more
selfish like sylvia
or as drunk as my father
today would be the day
i’d go join the other writers
One reply on “selfish like sylvia”
There are such days …
But as you say, we have children and we’re much too together for that.
Bravo!
