Being selfish

Life can throw some hardships
Of which you don't expect
And things can be so hard to take
Too hard to try and accept

I hate the way that people say
"It could've been much more hard"
Dont you think it wasn't bad enough?
Don't you think I'm already scarred?

And I hate it when they always say
"At least you got away"
In fact you'll find I didn't
As it plagues me every day

And please, oh please, don't tell me
That "everything will be alright"
Forgive me wallowing in pity
But didn't you hear my plight?

I'm sure in time I'll find that
It will all work out
But right now it doesn't feel like that
I fear I am in doubt

And don't tell me that you understand
Because I'm sure that you do not
You may think you have the answers
But you've missed an awful lot

And I apologise if I do not care
For those who suffer the same
But you see the only thing I feel
Is the extent of my own pain

Perhaps I'm far too selfish
And only care about myself
But right now I have no energy
To care about anyone else
