Selflessness should be a crime.
I turn off my emotions,
Watching my peers,
Do they suffer?
Do they grieve like me?
I should be doing something,
I should be doing anything,
I listen as they rant,
I give until there's nothing left,
I love like no other,
I'm loyal to no end,
But,
When will I listen to my feeling?
When will I do the same for myself?
When will I listen as my head screams for help?
When will I heal my scars?
When will I care for myself?
No room left for me,
All room left for them,
Selflessness should be a crime.
