I Want To Be Selfish

The selfish ones out there are the true winners.

Honestly, no one can win like someone that wins for themself.

I have tried to win but it never ends well.

I have tried to win, but winning is never what it's about.

It's about the title.

A selfish person wins to feel pride and to be aknowledged.

It's about the lifestyle.

A selfish person lives for themself and pleases no one else.

To be selfish is to be selfsufficient.

I wouldn't need friends if I was truly selfish.

Selfish people have friends, but they aren't necessity.

Friends benefit his or her ego.

Friends aren't a requirement for a selfish person.

 

The selfish ones out there have knowledge no one else can.

He or she can make himself or herself happy.

Everyone that is selfish and lonely is everything that I want to be.

I want to have that pride and that self assurance that the selfish have.

I want to be selfish, but I know I can't.

I worry too much about what people think.

I always want to make sure my friends feel loved and safe.

I can't be selfish when I know others have feelings.

I can't be selfish because I also have feelings.

Being selfish is hard,

But being selfish is what I want.
