take care of yourself first
you say
so casually
and I can't help but cry
for I haven't known for ages
what that looks like
and you're the first person
in just as long
to suggest something
so outrageous
you'd make a wonderful mother
others say
so carelessly
and I can't help but laugh
for I have known for so long
the way I take care
of everything and everyone else
something they claim
comes naturally
is not what I want
even more of
