To Be A Dog or Selfish

No pretending, no more barking.

You are your best well-wisher,

While you don’t wish well for me.

I’m a dog, a cowardly one-

Your wish is my command-

Wow.

Can’t you think other than yourself?

Moments are sucking my blood,

It is useless to be good.

You live only with yourself

- For yourself.

Like a dog, I roam around you.

Your wish is my command-

Wow (barking)!

I will hide in the midst of myself.

Don’t pretend you still have me, I’m-

Not your dog anymore. I-

Don’t need such love.

Live like yourself

And let me live like me.

If you are selfish, why can’t I be?
