They say it's selfish
Selfish to end the pain
They say it's selfish
Selfish to want peace
Peace from the captured chaos
Swirling in your mind
They say it's selfish
Selfish to not feel like a burden
They say it's selfish
It's selfish to desire sleep
Without nightmares
They say it's selfish
Selfish to finally rest
It is not selfish
To demand reprieve
It is not selfish
To fight for your silence
From the churning cataclysm
Locked in one's mind
It is not selfish
To have needs that must be met
It is not selfish
To strive to rest
While wearing a smile
It is not selfish
To reject the abuse
And find happiness
