Array ( [sid] => 47255 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Selfish [time] => 2004-05-12 21:12:45 [hometext] => stupid people need to die... [bodytext] => You call me selfish, I dont know why
You're selfish just the same
You call me stupid, and just wanting attention
I call you unworthy and vain

You don't understand the measures I'd take
just to rid myself of you hurting me more
You say your idiotic words and go on
not even knowing you've left me tore

It sickens me when you try to say you're hurt
Trying to get others to pity your life
You say that even some lonely times
You consider using a knife

I try to be considerate and share stories
of my own pain and once using a knife to trace
Then I see in your eyes the whole time you lied
and you spit it back in my face

So what's the use in calling me selfish
when I just have thoughts of ending my being sad?
Atleast I've been my true self instead of copy
and I have problems you wish you had.

*applause*

Awesomeness . . . this one was seriously good and wow, did it ring true. The last stanza, especially the last two lines, is absolutely flawless. And yeah, I hate people like that . . .

Personally, I don't think they need to die, but I do think they need to evaluate why their life is so sad they have to emulate someone else's. Especially someone who has problems with life. Seems that is what they think will get them attention. Pitiful actually.
This is a good write.

It's a shame people have to be so plastic. ( Sorry old term) There's too many people like this in the world today. They don't realize how much they really hurt someone in their quest for ??? I dunno, popularity? Whatever, good poem. Totally enjoyed it! Thumps ; 0 )

gotta love people like that. or stab them. either way. i quite enjoyed your write and related more than i care to think about. for lack of anything more original to say, i'm giving this an enthusiastic "great write" and a bag of skittles. i'm also going to send wishes your way that whoever you were writing about steps in front of a bus.

ok, i'm done.
