Self-obsessed.

Self-obsessed.

A Poem by Ghania
"

Reflections.

"
Deep in the shallow corners,
It quadrupled and flowed.

In an undulating manner,
Tearing the odds apart, with its shaft:
It stayed.

For a bit longer.
It slayed.

Drowing me towards end,
It brought me back then.

Towards the edge.
Towards me.

I regained.
It was I. It was my "self".
My self-obsessed self.

Hmm. A deep little poem.....

Self reflections and rediscovering oneself from a previous betrayal this reads to me. For in love there is always one who gives freely, selflessly, to their own detriment. The sense of self is lost and is only regained through some serious internal mining. And when it is rediscovered we tend to vow never again to be selfless, but "self obsessed" as you have described. A defensive mechanism to never repeat the mistakes of the past, so to speak.

A very relatable theme, Ghania. There is a difference between self obsession and self possession in my view. For one leads to vanity and the other leads to personal growth.

A very interesting write. Nice work.
