i have begun to hate this new life we've started to live
because your never here
and when you are your always asleep
don't get me wrong, i understand why it's like this
but i hate it
because your never really here
when you are awake your exhausted and your in a sleepy haze
and i can't talk to you anymore
there's no time to
and your my safety blanket
you are my human
you keep me sane
sitting and talking and thinking with you is what keeps me steady
and yes, i might be acting selfish right now
but i just want it go back to the way it was

is it my best interest to help you?
or your best interest to take me for granted?

Human nature is inherently selfish
All things we feel and all things we crave
Can all be traced back to the need for survival and the craving of joy
Even the kindest of people are kind for themselves
Even being selfless is a selfish act
But it truly doesn't matter
Because the reasons for our actions are nothing in comparison to what we do
Kindness is what we do
Not why we do it

When you told me about your plans for next year
I just smiled and listened without any worry
Just the through made you oh so happy
This is something you have been thinking about for a while because I remember the story you told me
As you talk about the loads of paper work
you still smile through it all
Because now you know one of your biggest wishes is so close you can see it
You’re my best friend and I want to always see you at your best and with a genuine smile placed on your face
But you’ll be in another country with a time zone
12 hours ahead of where we are now so I get sad
I will probably be lost without you and that thought makes me anxious and scared
Our friendship will be able to endure something like this right?
What if you find someone who gets you in a way I probably never have?
Call me selfish but I don’t want you to leave
I am trying so hard to look on the bright side and it’s the hardest thing I’ve had to do in a while
I know my words will never be able to do justice
But please promise me that you will not replace me
My best friend is going away for a semester next year and I don’t know what I will do.

If today is the day I die
The next to last thing I would do is stare at the night sky while I’m high
Smoke one last cigarette
Take pleasure in the fact that I finally quit

Will any particular person be on my mind?
All the people in my life are the same kind
Good people, all of them
But not one person worth living for I can name

In the end, my realization would be this -
I would end my life as I have lived,
Even my last act would be selfish

You ask for help
When you are blue
And have no clue
But you also left
When you already received
The help you want
I know its selfish
to ask you
To ask me
For my help, cause I dont mind
I just dont want you to leave me behind.
Pls, you have trap me and im craving for you but its sad cause I know you dont need me anymore.
She Writes Apr 2018
When she looks at me
I hope she sees
Unconditional love

Not selfishness
Broken trust
And unfulfilled promises

I hope someday she understands
I did this for her
Not for me

Those hijackers on that plane...
Were they people, too?
They wanted to hurt others,
**** people, burn people, terrify people
How can we say they are people?
What about our beloved soldiers
They had similar intent
To **** people in order to prove a point
Were they people too?
Where does that leave me at?
The world took my friend
My ******* only friend
I wanted to hurt people
I wanted everyone to die
Each and every person that drove him
Straight out of this world
I wanted it to burn
The building, the people, all of it
And now everything is my fault
I've done so many bad things
I've hurt people
I was just like them
So am I a person, too?
Would my friend say that I am?
