Selfish

Selfish

Really?

So now I'm

Selfish

You know,

I love that you said that

Almost as much as I love myself

Apparently...

“Lacking consideration for others;

Concerned chiefly with one’s self”

Define me

Why don't you

Even though

I’m pretty sure

You don’t know

What your labels mean

Or how they make people feel

So

Labeled

How dare you?!

You don’t know me

I don't love myself

Quite the opposite

Actually

I look in the mirror

And all I see are

Imperfections

Almosts and could bes

But you don't know that

‘Cause you don’t care

You felt hurt right then

Needed to lash out,

Retaliate

We all have bruises

Painted on our skins

You marked me with yours

But I didn't need

Another bruise

I don’t think I’m selfish

I don’t think you are

You hurt me

I don’t know exactly why,

Frustrated?

Furious?

Worried?

And maybe just a little

Tiny

Bit

Selfish
