Self Indulgence

I’ve searched my soul…
Taken lessons from the best…
And to those who don’t respect me…
I really couldn’t care less.

If you toy with my emotions…
Let this warning take place….
Walk the path with me if you dare…
Get off the path if you can’t keep pace.

I deserve better now and expect the best…
No damaged goods that need repair…
Don’t bother me with your problems…
I have my own, take yours elsewhere!

If your intentions are false…
And your spirit is really weak…
I can’t afford to be around you…
I quote you this as I speak.

If you think I’m being self-righteous…
You’ve hit the nail right on the head…
It’s time I put myself first…
For once, I’m thinking of ME INSTEAD!
