How selfish

I am selfish
I've noticed that I seem to be making you feel like your not being heard and your not being loved
I must only be caring about myself ...
And what I think again ....
Not considering the possibility that just maybe my actions, my word, may be sticking a dagger through your heart
I've convinced myself to the points where I know I'm right and only me .. because the world might end if it's anything different

So yes ,
I do think about myself a lot
But is it really that selfish if I'm trying to express what I'm feeling against the things that make me look bad, the words you seem to believe about me ?
If I'm the one who has to stick up for myself and tell my side no matter how selfish I may sound
I'll do it
I won't be painted in the darkest of lights were all the words you say , where all the words everyone is saying ,
are wrong .
Because no one will know it better than me .

And maybe
You think I'm selfish
I know I sound it
So maybe I am
Maybe I still will be
I can't tell you that it'll stop because
I'll keep expressing myself , till that dagger that went through your heart gets stabbed in mine
And that will be my pain to deal with ...
I'm just that incredibly selfish .
