Selfish Poems - Poems about Selfish

In the quiet of night, when the world felt so still, I brought you home, my heart full yet so filled with fear, A baby so small, so fragile and bright, After surgery's touch, we faced each new night. Your father, a shadow who came when it pleased, While I stood alone, with my worries and needs. Three days my mother...

No, I don't want to be alone, but if I'm not alone, I become a selfish soul lost in the crowd, Alone in the arms of others, like a traveler lost without a map among unfamiliar faces, If I'm not alone, I become a martyr of silence or a voiceless flatterer amid the clamor, My soul slowly drowns...

Blinded by a carousel of fragmented glistening glass An image of self, pieced together by my own hands unworth, Each jagged shard cuts deep the chalice of a selfish heart 'Til blood, like words, curdle in the bowels of my own thoughts, A faceless demere dissects the contents I lavishly once did court.

So then, my grief, what do you want of me? To give my self up to your black despair? Or hide away from every memory that leaps from every corner of this fair but heartbroken home we shared together? To run from friends, to shun all human life, avoid all mention of that day – never remembering that once I had...

Isn’t there a selfish desire we all crave for? Purely for the trenches of our minds Roaming in the realms of our hopeless reality. What accumulates and what festers there Is all good and all evil Its total usage of power and of brute and of control. Balance is forbidden Sharing and caring are ripped at the roots No universal laws are...
