Selfish

I admit
I am selfish as can be
The things I still want
Others get I see
I am thankful as well
For what I have here
But seeing others get what I still want
Feeds my fear

Am I me?
Because the awareness arrives
That I might be living
Other people's lives
What I want
They all get
Who I want to meet
They've already met

So who am I?
An I the copycat?
Nothing is my thing anymore
Not boxing and not a top hat
So what is this?
I'm not who I want to be
I am happy with what I have yes
But I'm not me
