As I wander randomly
(Nothing ventured, nothing gained)
All at once it comes to me:
My relationships are strained
Not by anger, not by greed,
Not by false things or by true,
Not by hunger, not by need,
But by what I did not do.
I did not expand my heart
To encompass others' needs
And thereby make them a part
Of the self that in me breeds.
Had I done this, had I grown,
I would not now be alone.
