PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Maybe I’m selfish for having these thoughts-These ambitions for a better Life,

Striving to better myself and my world- Are these feelings wrong or right?

What would you do if you were in my position- Living a Life of pain,

Would you settle for what you already have or continuously try to gain.

Selfishness is to want for yourself with disregard for other peoples feelings,

Well I still care about other people- But I’m just worried about my self really.

To live without hurt, to Love without worry- To get through a day not sad,

To want to gain some perspective in Life- Tell me, is that really so bad?

I don’t want to end it but I want it to end- Where is the clarity in that?,

I lose myself way too often- Forgetting where I am really at.

I am at a point where nothing really matters- I’ve lost sight of all of my dreams,

I’m stuck in a world of falsified thoughts- Nothing is ever what it seems.

Nothing except for my one last ambition- My striving to better this curse,

I fight through this shit every single day- And every day it seems to get worse.

I only see myself alone in the world- Alone in this battle I have fought,

I feel I’ve suffered more than any man should- And sometimes I get lost in my own selfish

thoughts.
