Poem: When Sharing is NOT Caring

Sharing is not meant
to be a competition
I want to show you
why certain things
make me happy
and maybe you
can join in too.
I didn't expect you
to go all in
and assume control
try to tell me
you know more
in a few days
than I know from
doing it for years.

I don't want you
to feel like you must
be better than me
be more skilled
more knowledgeable
but that seems to be
your nature.
And your need
to be right
sucks all the joy
right out of what
I had loved before.
