Selfish One

I’m trying so hard to change my selfish ways To think of something other than myself All I did in younger days It’s never too late to start A great finale forgives a poor first act So with myself, for the rest of my days I make this pact Think of someone else Help them get what they need Love unconditionally Let go of personal greed

When we are young, we are all guilty of being selfish.. It is a trait most of us lose within time, especially when we have children.. Sadly some do no lost it at ll.. Another deep bit of introspection..

Yea, I have been in a mood lately, I'm sure I will snap out of it. Thankfully, maturity arrives even if it's late!
