Nick Trim Poet Rhyme

I Dont Do Selfless Anymore

I used to bend to the will of people 
putting them first and selflessly 
only for them to make it feel unequal 
suffering when they don’t help me 

They even sat and doubted my words, 
said attention was my true thirst 
as if I made up what hadn’t occurred 
they didn’t help and made it worse 

Yet they’d talk about their problems 
for my opinion and helpful options 
as if unaware they treat me rotten 
that’s when I told them to jog on 

they failed to understand the change 
saying for no reason I turned strange 
playing innocent and pointing blame 
victims of a man gone insane 

and that story soon spread the town 
heard by all who were around 
I’ve gone wrong and I’m put down 
watch my reputation drown 

They act like Saints who want to help me 
implying I’m mentally unhealthy 
had the chance and this they dealt me 
so I don’t do selfless only selfie.
