Selfish

I've always been selfless,
always cared more about others than myself.

Helped teens thinking about suicide,
while I was thinking and attempting it myself.

Gave money to the homeless and poor,
while I was only left with a couple dollars myself.

That doesn't bother me.
I enjoy being selfless.

But sometimes, I wish I was selfish.
I've never really gotten what I wanted,
I always gave it to someone who needed more than me.
And I'm okay with that.

But sometimes, I want what you have.
Friends that care about me,
a person who loves me,
a smile not faked.
