Self


I was born by myself

I do not need anyone else

Walk by myself

Trust nobody else

Go about it myself

Believe in myself

I even celebrate myself

The only conversations I value are those between me and myself

Tell me who else I need but myself

Society calls me conceited because I am into just myself

But you must understand my logic of self

See if I only depend on myself

I will only be in wealth

Letting others in just smothers the wealth

This wealth’s currency is more powerful than society’s wealth

Now please try and find me a reason why I would need anyone else
