one day...

she said,

one day...

one day, i'll care about someone more than i care about myself.

just not today...

i'm self-centered, they say

i act as though, the world revolves around me

i'm selfish and could care less about your feelings...

fine me.

when i gave every one else my all...

i was left alone...

i'm selfish because when i was selfless, i was taken advantage of

i don't care about your feelings,

because you could give a damn about mine.

so fine me.

i can't rely on anyone else to make me happy

because they always fail

i take matters into my own hands

because every one else drops the ball

and thus,

i have to love me for me

because everyone else loves me for someone else...

so one day...

i will care about someone else more than i care about myself...

just not today.
