Self preservation
selfishly existing
thoughts of oneself
instinct
Insulated ambiguity
emotional icebergs
feelings for none
instinct
Nothing shocking
without care
focused on you
helping none
feigning ignorance
they don’t matter
instinct
Instinct

Rushing to and fro
unsure what day it is
online and to stores we go
seeking gifts to buy
Nonstop action so it seems
barely stopping
even to notice
those in need
Concerned with our lives
lists with our family
our friends only
charity found nowhere
Too busy for homeless
hopeless helpless creatures
who fill out town
and streets
Worried only about us
what we need to do
to get to give
so selfish
Going here and there
walking right be them
lost as we are
in a holidaze
You

Everything that happens
anything that’s done
all that the world is
you make it all about you
Anyone else’s troubles
other people’s success
whatever drama surfaces
you make it all about you
Plans that get made
conversations ongoing
friends, family, work
you make it all about you
My trouble, my successes
my world, my friends
my plans, my life
believe it’s not all about you
