SELFISH

I live for me
Who the world is
Including thee!

When I laughed, you cheered
When I cried, you disappeared
I realized, how tough angle
It is the midnight
Me, struggling entangle!

I am who ,often so
Disregard your ignorance
I pray to god
To get me everyday
A fresh and happy face!

You are just a seed
I'm already grown
I'll stay green until
My heaven says,
Come on!!

Your plight is s**t for me
Mine is a case
I cleansed my body
And the sorrow is less.

I'm preparing a dish
With some sweet gestures
And some spicy mess
I owe no one to garnish
My success will speak louder
And rest of mine is yet to be unleashed.

You live for you
Of course that is the way of modern world
It makes you selfish
Look after number one
No one else will look after you
Maybe your lover will - not always though some just want to take
A true lover will give you help and comfort in times of strife

[Digvijay Singh]

The day you say and believe, "i owe to no one. Nothing" that's when i all starts for you. Faces have so many layers these days. Words are spoken too often that its almost impossible to know which one's real and other not. Love, love for someone else is alright but we all should make sure that we love ourselves a bit more than them. And, often, we should prepare a dish in our kitchen for us only. That can solve like half the problems. Thank you for writing this.

A true lesson to be learned, however the piece gathers and propels itself at the reader, well done, good read.

[Ted Kniffen]

There is a lesson in this piece...we can't help others if we can't help ourselves first. Mothers always put on the oxygen mask first so they can take care of their children.
So it is for everyone.
There is a fair bit of anger here as well...directed at an ex-lover perhaps...rightfully so.

Well done Sneh

Self acceptance makes life all the more better...not having to care about what others think...it’s not selfish to look out for ones self...selfish is when u don’t share care or give if oneself to better another’s life...we all need to look after self first...🌹

live for me,a great quote on life,don`t let anyone pull you down

[jacob erin-cilberto]

we should never have to be someone we are not....just to please others.
we need to be comfortable in our own skin...that should suffice.
this poem is raw and powerful.

Obligatory is to know your value before everything. A thin line between self love and selfishness, very few things determine the differences. Glad to see you back here Sneh, keep writing wonderful-s!♡

[Neville]

if you don't look after number one.. you wont be able to look after anyone else for long...
