Rebecca Myers

 

Loving you is as simple as

painting the nails on my left hand,

while loving myself is attempting the right;

a skill I’ve not mastered, despite years of trying.

I cannot keep steady enough not to mess it up,

though I begin with the best of intentions

each time, it seems I am not

yet ambidextrous.
