A Selfless Heart

That Is Selfish Towards Me

I can’t help myself

To only want the best for others

More than I want for myself

Without asking

Just inserting my ideas

Being very supportive of their projects

Forgetting all about mines

Why can't I be just as invested in my work?

Focusing more on my own dreams

It's this heart that care

Oh how selfless it is

Just cares and cares

While still holding on to the loneliness it bears

All hopes and dreams are in there's

Because of a heart that is selfish towards me
