Selfish

Your so wrapped up in your bubble 
Of self hatred and despair 
That you don’t even stop or consider 
Or look up at what is there

You nod at all the words 
Thinking they are just being kind
Only sourced from pity
They don’t enter your mind

You feel like your imperfect
Your the only one alone
In such a dark deep depression 
You’ve learned to call it your home
But if you looked up, lifted your chin 
You’d be surprised to see
Your bubble of self hatred 
Has also consumed me
