Selfish

I look around and see my friends
and through all the pain that they have been.
I look around and see myself
and wonder what's so bad about my health.
What's so wrong? Why am I sad?
Why am I just so horribly mad?


Why do I cry? Why do I sob?
My parents are fine. My happiness robbed.
I do well in school. I get mostly A's.
I have wonderful times and perfect days.


Who am I? To be so sad?
Who am I to feel so bad?
Who am I to cry so long?
What exactly is going wrong?

And why am I so selfish?

    im not alone! thankyou for this poem, it literally described most aspects of my internal life...it was brilliant, i loved the flow, the imagery, the rhyme and rhythm. and yes, who are we to be selfish and unhappy when we're leading good lives?

    sometimes i do what you mentioned in your first line...

    the way i see it is even though what youre going through isnt the same or as bad as your friends, its all you know.

    Your a person youre allowed to feel sad...

    people may call you selfish just show you know you aren't

    Keep a straight head on your shoulders and good luck ;D
