The Spirit of You

“You’re such a selfish person!”

“You don’t care about anyone but yourself!”



Everyone seems to think of selfishness as an exceedingly horrific thing.

What’s wrong with looking out for you?



I say, have time just for you everyday.

And forget conformity, do what puts you on cloud nine.



“You’re too worried about fitting in.”

“You’re too afraid to be independent.”



Things that are in your best interest

Should be what drives you.



Helping friends is indeed important,

But try to be your own best friend.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

“Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.”
-Nathaniel Hawthorne

Well written, I should learn from this. Too often we put ourselves last, fade into the shadows and are taken advantage of for our efforts.
