Is It Selfish

is it selfish to
want to be loved?
is it selfish to
need to be taken care of?
       everyday I give
       happy to do so
       each day I forgive
       and let my love grow
but sometimes I need
a little something for me
just a little sweet deed
said or done lovingly
       am I selfish to
       have desires of my own?
       am I selfish to
       not want to deal with life alone
everyday I wonder
why everything's about you
I wish that I could matter
if only for a moment or two
