Selfish
Its so much easier
not thinking for yourself
To not be yourself
To not care for yourself.
You hurt less people
You don’t get in the way
You make people happy
Your feelings just go away.
Deep down inside
You know you are screwed
That one day soon
Someone is going to wake
Something inside of you.
Confusing how its not yourself
That opened up the hell.
To think of yourself.
To bring up cross roads
Of making a choice
Between me or everybody else
The feelings are killer
You feel happy
Having what's been long gone
But you mourn for the feelings
For other people you have lost.
The pain is unbearable
But the pain on failing yourself
Is what will kill you.
To lead both lives will eat you
Things will never be the same
Not when you keep thinking
Things should now go your way.
You cant just stuff it back in its box
Not when you dread the feeling
Of again being in the dark
feeling so lost.
Praying day and night
To have someone else
fight this fight
Nothing changes
they are waiting
On you to choose.
You got to hope you are right
There's so much to lose
The pain of staring
yourself in the face.
The ache of waiting
on what you decide.
The needing to know now
how its going to turn out.
It hurts every part of me.
I hate myself
For finally seeing.
