Poem of the Day.... Selfish
Selfish circa 2010 I will never forget those words, Those words that I last heard, Those words that she said to me, Those words that I thought I would never be, Those words oh, the pain and agony, I never thought I would hurt so badly, Until those words started plunging out of her esophagus, Screaming out her mouth— You are SELFISH— Those words tore at my heart, Those words pushed a relationship farther apart, You look for growth, But find yourself temporarily loathing someone you should love, Your heart crushed, Tears fall because you worked so hard to make her proud, But now, She and only she would agree, I am less than what she expected me to be, Only a figment of what she wants me to be, Selfish, a word of shame, Selfish, my new name. 2015 insert Bitch for the word Selfish.
