SELFISHNESS


Do you think about me

Ever wonder how I am

Ever walk in my shoes

While Im sinking in the sand

Do you help him out

Do you ever stop and try 

Wake up, smell the coffee

Splash some water on you eyes

It will never ever change 

If its one man for himself

We're all worried about getting played

No sincere feelings left

No heartfelt calls

No hand when you fall

No props when they're right 

Because that means you're wrong 

So what do you do in a world full of selfishness

Hide in a closet or try to put some knowledge in

I can put the information out but I cant make you listen

All I can do is question adversity's existencce

A woman who knows her worth will be worth your time. I love my self because I try to be the person I would want others to be to me. I embrace natural beauty, good health, and psychical and spiritual balance. To scale down a bit, reading, writing poetry, and painting are some of the hobbies I engage in when not working on my career, school/ college, or domestic duties. I plan on going to the University of Indianapolis to pursue my career as a psychologist or marriage and family therapist while minoring in art therapy or culinary arts.
