Selfishness

Comes at a high cost

I’ve said it before

But what have you ever done?

For someone else?

Anyone else?

You can’t listen

You only talk

You can’t give

You only take

And the things you’ve took

Have been taken away

From me

You gave it a bad memory

Ruined it for me

Did you even consider me?

And my feelings?

No, it’s doubtful

The fact is you don’t realise

When you hurt someone

I’m sick of the selfishness

I’m sick of your lies

And putting myself on the line

A helping hand when I can

Even if I don’t have the time

And to make someone feel better

When you just want to cry

I won’t be put out

Taken advantage of

I’ve given up this time

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I'm sick of people's lack of being able to consider someone elses feelings but their own.
