Selfish Poem by Donna Saphier

I really feel like getting off
I know that sounds unfair
But what's the point of being here
When no-one seems to care
I have been loved most of my life
But that was long ago
Now the feeling doesn't exist
Believe me I should know
I don't love no-one no more
And that includes myself
I am just a waste of time
And messing up my health
There are people who can't walk or talk
And would give their world to be
A person who could have the world
Not selfish just like me
I know I should be grateful
For the things that I do own
But I think I would be happier
If I was left alone
For the people who do love me
I'll always love you too
If I can't help myself
Then I really couldn't help you
I'm not a nasty person
And I do have a good heart
Don't be upset if I do go
We'll never be apart
Remember me for what I was
In my younger days
I'll love you all forever
As we go our separate ways.
