Inhaling smoke into tarry lungs
Exhaling poison.
Drinking alcohol to numb the agony
Setting fire to a scarred esophagus.
Selfish to a fault
Its always about the big ME.
Doing favors and expecting
to get something out of it.
Ignoring the small and weak.
I've seen the worst of humanity.
I looked in the mirror and it reflected back to me.

I've seen the worst of humanity.
I looked in the mirror and it reflected back to me.
