"You have to be selfish to get what you want," they said.

B-but I'm not selfish.

If I were,
I would have ended my life long ago.
Sometimes I just wish I could disappear without hurting anyone.
I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse but,
there's always going to be someone who would get hurt if I left.

So I just hurt myself
because if I didn't,
I would end up hurting everyone around me.
