“If you don't like something, change it If you can’t change it, change your attitude” -Maya Angelou


The word has lost its meaning

What is selfish

Is it selfish of me to think of ME

Or is it selfish not to think of U 


Yours words wrap their arms around me 

Keeping me caged 

I want to be free like a bird 

But your cage of words keeps me grounded


i set myself free and think about me 

how i always wished to be

I feel that the word is used for people to get what they want from others. Selfish people reflect their selfishness at times but sometimes it's okay to be "selfish".
