Selfishness

You sit there miserable, controlling your thoughts
Making your choices based on your own wants and needs
You forget to listen carefully and take a breath
You forget that your thoughts become you

Your conscience disappears
Measuring the honesty of your selfishness
Sit and think, be honest
Regret sinks in
You realize you have topped the measuring jug

There’s no turning back
You did what you needed to
You did what you wanted to
No more conscience
Just destruction
