Selfish

9/8/21 Behind the curve or way ahead of it Impacting progression, causing friction Due to depression and addiction Couldn't help it Being selfish It's all been hellish The cards I've dealt with Been in the dark, hardly ever well lit If needed I'd propel quick People proud to be celibate And others think they are superior and more intelligent Quick to be prejudice And to treat you like excrement As if you are the nemesis It's gotten obvious and prevalent Among the elements As I write near a body of water full of sediments I send my condolences and sentiments Been this way since the genesis Sad that it's typical and done due to senselessness It's detriment No more buildings or settlements Due to fires and war, areas becoming desolate At times folks went on a exodus In and out of areas full of species that are venomous Oh, excuse me on whether or not it is relevant It's become resonant The very end of it Is not clear or evident Could be a prerequisite The whole solar system not just Connecticut The scales and balance becoming delicate Evil or benevolent Didn't always stick to the regiment Am not a perfectionist But have been a pessimist Too many obsessed with reaping life's benefits Yet it's impacting development And life for animals such as elephants I don't need to put it in parenthesis Or use emphasis As I've remained generous Even when life got treacherous Now that you mention it It's fine if you take offense to this But realize I'm so much more than sentient Even if I'm not always feeling 100% blessed to live Regardless if many people consider me as good as dead to them
