One For Anothing

You can offer time and help 
do favours and show sympathy, 
but some are all about themselves 
knowing not of empathy, 
attention given won’t see a return 
for only they are their concern, 
never notice others feel hopeless, 
as they are not tuned into others, 
pointed out claim 
“you don’t know stress”
no one knows their pain 
and tell you you should cope 
and too without complaints
though flip the script 
treat them no joke, love shown
but bet your bottom dollar 
they expect devotion to their moan
