Well said! I don't think its selfish to think about your own needs, as long as we remember that when that's done, we then need to turn our attention to others. A great contest entry. Best of luck.

This meets the contest requirements nicely with a correct line and syllable count throughout. The content speaks to the mindset of many, unfortunate, but true. Good luck in the judging and thank you very much for sharing it.

Very interesting poem. Even though it's short, it's food for thought. There's a fine line between selfishness and looking after oneself.
Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

A very well-written 1-5-7 poem about justifying who you are, while many see you as selfish, you are just busy taking care of yourself because no one else does.

Hahaha... What a funny way to justify ones selfishness... However, the justification is in itself valid, cos one has to be well before making others feel same.
Lovely 1-5-7 poem. Thanks for sharing.

These are poignant words and when I was young my father instilled in me not to be selfish, but I believe that everyone should care for their own needs first because they cannot care for others when they are in need themselves, wise words and you may want to highlight them so that they are more readable, love Dolly x

This 1-5-7, Justification, has the right set up and rationalizes that one can be aware of his or her needs without necessarily being a bad person.

Say, D, it looks like you're new at posting contest entries. Right now your poem is unreadable because of your color selection of what appears to be blue on black. There isn't sufficient contrast in that combination. You always should view every edit without assuming the result is as you intend.
Good luck with the revision,

I'm not a fan of the writing formula but I like your entry very much. I believe poems that don't tell a story aren't readable. This is an excellent example of telling a real story in few words. Nice job. Good luck in the contest.
