Selfishness

Sometimes, I want to scream

Sometimes, I want to cry

Sometimes, I want to leave,

and never come back

Sometimes, I want to end it all

With that fatal bullet

When this happens, I think of

How they would love to see

Me break, to see me fall

I think of the pain I would

Cause those who love me

Most of all, I think

of the selfishness of the act

To stop this suffering

I obviously deserve.

Why do I think this way?

Because he used me

Abused me, made me hate myself

At least he's happy though.

That's all that matters, right?

That's what I tell myself,

to make it through the day. </3
