Words Unspoken. [Poems]

Selfish.

They say im selfish..

how am i selfish

when all i worry about are other people?

how am i selfish

when i try to help people the best i can?

how am i selfish

when i stay up all night talking a stranger out of suicide..

how am i selfish

when i do all i can to please them..

how am i selfish

when all i care about are everyone but myself?

how am i selfish

when all i do with my life is try to make other people happy..

because everyone deserves happiness..

everyone deserves love and attention..

Everyone deserves to feel like they matter..

Why cant they understand that i just dont want people feeling like me?

I guess that makes me selfish..
