Self Care (a poem)

James J Jackson

Self Care

Self care,

Not selfish.

It is not self care to not care.

Self care,

Not escapism.

It is not self care to ignore it.

Self care,

Another radical term,

Coopted by soccer-moms

and aging Deadheads.

Self care,

Not an excuse.

It is not self care,

It is in no way care,

To let anyone suffer.Your
