Selfish

I'm kind of broken down
Heavy draggin' myself around
It's hard to get up these days
to pretend to care what's goin' on
to pretend and act like I'm strong
I am the shoulders people cry on
the strong person people rely on
Yet I am so weak
I am carying around not just my pain,
but everyone elses
I feel so selfish,
but I'm so tired
Am I selfish to be tired?
Can I give up yet?
No, because I've got to get up,
I've got to be there for everyone
Though I don't know what to do
for someone when they're crying
I just know that everything in life
turns out okay,
so that's all I say to them
That everything will be okay...
But who's going to tell ME everything will be okay?
Who's shoulder can I cry on?
What am I, some emotionless zombie,
here to take and soak in all peoples pain?
Maybe I am selfish...
Maybe I should just give up.
Because I don't give a fuck anymore.
I'm too tired.
I feel too broken, too weak
Too selfish
I guess
