I dont know if i can do this
Which is selfish
I mean
I have everything most people could want
A house
Friends
Family
Food
A bed

But even with all this
I just feel numb
Like my chest is caving in
And I cant breathe
All the time
I feel myself slipping away
All the time

But noone seems to notice unless I tell them
Yes I want attention
But only because I feel so trapped

I want help
Not ******* sympathy.

This Love,
Wouldn't last if you had a chance,
But chances and luck run out don't they,
They laugh behind your back don't they,
Criticize and confuse don't they,
Try to keep you amused don't they,
Stabbing at your flesh with the other patch of lies don't they,
I know I'm a bit hypocritical to this,
They'll never let you go,
If I sacrifice this,

I know I'm a ******* at times,
But I have a bad past experience,
Living for the moment,
But the moment seems far to late,
This love was never alive,
Muddy shoes,
Quicksand,
Won't you drown in it,
Gold eyes,
Wrist bands,
I don't condone in it.

I'm selfish because i want your lips all the time
There's no time of day that I don't want you, you treat me like a princess
dont think I didnt hear how you defend me when I'm not around, I love to wake up knowing you are all mine
Telling me you love me everyday is nothing but music to ears,
Your amazing,

Your friends
They don't deserve your time
I don't want them to see your smile or get use to your laugh like I am
I would hate for them to love you like I love you because they won't want to let you go either,
I don't want you to go out in public
There's other girls
They might hear your laugh, or catch a glimpse of your beautiful eyes and they might fall in love you
And if you think there beautiful enough then there's a chance you could fall in love too

I don't want anyone else to have you
I envy anyone else who has because I love you.
And that's why I am selfish.

There are many different types of fear.
Most fears are selfish.
Like the paralysingly horror of your own death,
The strange ominousness of being alone at night.
We're often afraid of the inflicted on our own emotions and our own bodies.
Sometimes it’s impossible not to be afraid.

But even worse than this was the fear for others.
It’s when you love somebody more than you love yourself that their danger frightens you.
And I had endured this fear more than once.

I have been afraid and still am afraid.

"This is mine",
He told me
One day

Gnashing teeth.
Glaring eyes.
Growling voice.

"You can't touch it,
You can't have it,
This is mine"
It's all yours!
I say.
I don't want it.

Its great that you're taking care of yourself
But sometimes I wish you'd just realise that unlike you, I'm not doing so well

Let's start with the good,
When I asked if I should.
Should I pursue, and give myself to you?
A friend is a friend, but when you kissed me;

You pulled out a part of me you don't deserve to see.

I held your soft hands and held your sea green gaze,
I looked to your soul and saw flashes of pain,
flashes of beauty and a glimmer of hope;

Hoping that we were not meant to be.

The guy you pulled out with a kiss is a fool,
a sucker for love and an ignorant tool.
He played by your rules and he kicked your ***.

Don't prey on the good men who still have some class.

I admit that the things that I told you were bad,
and sorry, not really, for making you sad,
I'll miss being able to call you my buddy;

You get what you give when you're selfish and slutty.
This poem has a long story to it. It involves a girl I once called a friend who basically led me to believe that she wanted to pursue a relationship or ***. But apparently, "she was just playing a game". I'll admit I played my role in ******* myself over by putting on the rose colored glasses for a while, but it recently ended with me trying to apologize to her for making fun of her, her refusing to accept my apology and playing the victim, and I called her a ****. So yeah, we don't talk anymore

On the sixth day,
God created Man.
On the seventh day,
God rested.
And for days and days onwards,
Man demanded
more, more, more.

We devoured every piece of fruit
from the Tree of Knowledge,
yet we still held out our grubby,
juice-stained hands,
asking Him
for more of the forbidden ammonia.

And still,
God provided.

His tired hands,
worn from work,
fashioned miracle after miracle
to feed our selfish desires
yet
it
was
never
enough.

To call ourselves
the superior species
would be too self-gratuitous,
too unfitting.

How can we call humankind
the top of the food chain
when humankind
has lost all of its humanity?
i'm so sorry for being so inactive. :^( will edit later

If I could have one wish,
I'd wish for you

Call me selfish

But I know you'd make me a better person
than I could ever be.
