SELFISH
Someone said
I didn't seem selfish
I didn't feel bad
There was a time
when I used to care
for everyone
Even behind my back,
people would call me
selfish
For many days,
my mind would be unsettled
It would take me days
to collect myself
Now if someone
calls me selfish,
I don’t feel bad
anymore Caring for myself
along with everyone
Loving myself
Thinking about myself
If that's being selfish,
then yes, I am selfish.
