Selfishness
Wavering slowly back and forth
from friend to friend. .
from place to place,
only finding my selfishness
but wanting to bring happiness.
"What do you need?
What else can I possibly give you?
I'v given everything.
I have nothing else to give.
Why do I do this?
Why do i try so hard to make other people happy?
My selfishness
and other peoples happiness
don't go together,
but somehow
in the end
they
always
intertwine
