Greed

What is greed? Is it when you give up because you know
you're not good enough? Or because you're just too good?
When you feel like you've taken control of everything
but actually lost yourself in the process.
Trying to re-live each happy moment to try and
keep the bad ones away.
Stuffing yourself full with the pathetic excuses
used against those who aren't like you.
Taking control of the wrong.
Demanding yourself right.
Only your mind itself knows
what you dream of at night.
Dream of all the riches of the world
while deep inside you're wishing for all the wishes
in the world.
Keep them locked up as long as you can.
That's what caused it all in the first place.
Greed doesn't have to be riches.
It could be somebody's feelings.
Forcing them to feel how you want them to.
To make you happy.
You won't be happy for long
living in your own self pity.
Living in your own greed.
