Banishing Everything Pretty

I am selfish

I can't seem to get enough of anything

I don't notice anything

I am selfish

I hate and curse the cold when white specks

are trying to make the world pretty

They stay for as long as they can

Yet I banish them as I run towards the door

Eventually, they comply and leave

Leaving pools of tears behind

I look out and I am thrilled

But my smile is turned upside down

When I see the Winter Wonderland

is gone

And I have to wait to see her again

I am selfish

I hiss and try to defend myself

Against the harsh arrows of fire

I constantly feel under attack

And try to find every shield I can

But what I didn't know

is that the arrows contained letters

urging me, pleading with me to wait

I don't wait

I frantically look and finally dive for cover

Hiding away from my attacker

When I finally feel it's safe to come out of hiding

I looks at my attacker in shock

She is beautiful 

But she is also shy

So she hides away before I can truly admire her

And I have to wait to see her again

I am selfish

When my friends aren't around me, I am bitter

When I have to wait for something, I am bitter

But you see, I am also blind

Blind to the blessings

Blind to the beautiful nothings

And it's the smallest things

that make this world so pretty

But I am selfish

And I resent myself for it

And it's the smallest things
that make this world so pretty
But I am selfish
And I resent myself for it -- every person is like that and it is what makes a person unique because he is given all the chances to appreciate and cherish but seems always resentful and discontented
