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.
