I sing myself. If I could call my first poetry book anything it would be “Song of Ayesha” and I don’t mind if people think I am self absorbed and uppity. That’s okay. When a person loves themselves everybody starts hating. If I hated myself people would say look she treats herself the way the world treated her but I say no to that. I buy myself the nicest things I can afford. I do well. I have enough and I am satisfied with being upper middle class. I wouldn’t want to be rich. I feel so good about myself that I can’t believe it myself. I know people are supposed to like who they are. Self love is sexy.
A woman at NAMI Mercer said “Walt Whitman sang himself” and I thought “wow!”
