Selfish isn't even for you

Taking time for yourself? You should finish your list! You have nothing else to do, You have nothing? No! I have stuff! You do not! You have nothing, Well I have hobbies. That means nothing, the world! Why do I have to save the world, You can't save the your own community! NO! I can do things, But you said that you couldn't! I can but I can't do a lot! You are a mess! You have nothing! You Do nothing! This is the same  every damn time! Can't you be cut out of the gray matter? Why are you still here! I literally take things and do things to shut you up! SHUT UP! You would be broke and in the room with no sun light! I am your brave, your balance! I am your sight, your feeling up and down your spine! I am the reason you don't fall bull. So.... Why do hurt me? I don't! I just don't sugar coat , When has anything gone my way where it was cotton candy without diabetes and cavities? umm... Exactly! When have I took a breath without the smog of negativity resting on my lungs where as I need my inhaler!
Everyone has a- shut the hell up! I'm telling my side, I have things, I have the right to look out for me! I know you need me more than I need you! 
I am the one that was born first! I am the staples that hold the dark blood from poring out, I am a person not a diagnoses! I and I alone am allowed to be the writer of this novel! I don't need flowers, I have dirt, water and sunlight. I buy seeds, I was touch, cut, beaten. thrown away, stolen from and lied to But I choose to be a good person. Because people who hurt the most wouldn't want anyone else inhaling that hate. The very boot of our choices is happens when we get stomped on. 
You can't let the same universe that has trapped you give you a key, You know that key isn't real. Is there no end to the adopted hierarchy? There is no way to untangle what has melted together. Flesh, Nerve, muscle, cartilage, bone and fluid all right for the person who thinks the world owes them. Brains and bodies separate from the heat. The heart you try your hardest to fix, Just keep that to yourself. But I want to feel the touch of what people call lo- four letter word not meant for you! Never for you That makes you weak! Lazy and unable to focus. You don't need that, Besides when's the last time someone actually gave you that discussing word anyway? I thought not, Now stop being stupid. Such simple and yet uncalled for emotion. this world isn't meant for you to well...that word. This world is meant for other's don't be selfish.
