Selfish


They all say they want to make a difference,

That they want to be successful to help our world.

But I don't care about the world,

I care about me.

I want to ignore price tags and buy outrageous gifts,

I want to explore every country before I die,

I want a world of opportunities available for my kids.

My inspiration, my drive, is me.

Me and my selfish want. 

Is that so wrong?
