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.
