Absorption

A sponge takes in
That from without
To its capacity.
It can be squeezed out.

A person takes in.
Some from without.
Some, simply self.

Self-absorption to its capacity
Needs squeezing out.
A soggy self am I.

Somehow, self-appreciation
Should balance who I am.
The bulk based upon The Bigger.

To achieve a healthy balance!
Most from Without!!
To maximum saturation.
Some from within.

A self takes in
To its capacity
A never ending thirst
I can be squeezed out.
