I am presenting my poem
SELFLESS
" Even try to see me one moment
Often cry for self every single time,
Never hold you for even true love
It's just because I am more than you.
Here words be most meaningful
Or shall be your touch very hard,
Always look you for with free will
It's just because I am more than you.

I haven't figured out how to participate. Should I receive a daily reminder? A message? Where do I write my responses?
Thanks!

For years, I did a few things as a 4-year-old child which I have been beating myself up for and I didn't realize that until that. This was because, there were so ,many circumstances where I was not allowed to be a kid. I was punished through abuse.
Two times that I was alone
1. I could not get a small jug of milk opened and I threw it across the floor which opened the milk and some spilled on the floor
2. My mom stopped by some apartment complex is a big city where were lived but I was not allowed to go in so I was left into the car. At one point she came back with a package of flat gum drops in a package, dropped them off in the front seat and took off again without saying any Meanwhile, I was left alone with a candy and opened it and ate all of them. For years, I cried about doing that.
Recently, I have been looking at myself in the mirror and telling myself "Hey, don't beat yourself up for those things, you were just a little kid. Most kids do similar things." Then I give myself a hug.
@Summershy
Hi, I don't get to see even why your behaviour could be remotely wrong. I don't know if maybe I didn't got it. But I think you have nothing to beel bad about from what you did. I don't see any bad.
@Linita
I came to realize that, like with the pack of Chuckles, little kids will get into them when you leave something like that out. I don't remember getting into to trouble for either of those things though.
I freaking love this
