Seeking A Balance Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Why aren't you here,
To participate in my anger?
Why aren't you loathing in self pity?
And sitting in self inflicting bitterness.

I love it when my self centeredness is comforted.
Don't you?
And nothing else matters,
Except the catering of my needs!

'You 'must' live alone? '

Of course I do!
But I like to use various introductions,
Just to make sure I eventually meet someone...
Who is not nearly as crazed as I am.
I am seeking a balance.

'Wouldn't it be more cost effective,
If you sought a psychiatrist first? '
