Why do they lie? Why do they give false hope? When they say be yourself, why don't they mean it? These lies we've been told as children We believe them They expect us to Go against them and you're in trouble These lies are messing with my head They say you're selfish for doing what your want A narcissist Stubborn Yes, I'm stubborn I'm not selfish for wanting to wear what I want with pride I'm not selfish for doing what I think is good for me I'm not selfish for showing myself there is hope I'm not selfish for being myself.
