I reach out not for me.

To support.

To build back up.

To show care.

To simply check in.

I reach out to fill a gap for someone else.

***

I keep watch but not for me.

Those tiny differences in the behaviors of others.

Those possible dangers in the environment.

Those hazards that threaten those I love.

Those preferred wants that could make them smile.

I keep watch for things that threaten happiness and provide it.

***

I reject but not for me.

The false beliefs that might be a bad example.

The way of living that might impact others negatively.

The extra help that might hurt others.

The community that might mislead people.

I reject everything that harms people.

***

I do it all for me.

That I reach out so people might do the same for me.

That I look out for others because they do the same for me.

That I reject it because it also harms me in the end.

That all of it affects both me and others.

I do it for me.
