    I Decided

     I decided I was selfish
    And needed to cast aside
    My expectations and desires
    And focus on the person

    I realized that I was looking
    At the world through an eye
    So myopic
    All I could see
    Was my own hand
    In front of my face

    A hand
    Full of my own agendas
    And my own desires
    A hand full of me
    And my problems

    I decided to reach out
    With that hand
    And touch someone
    But to do that
    I had to drop what was in my hand
    And fill that hand with love
    And wisdom
    And forgiveness

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
