Selfish

The weight is on my shoulders.
It’s for me,
and me alone.

The smoke,
I inhale
and exhale.
The sweet poison,
I’m drowning in,
The strain,
the sweat,
the tears,
Is my undoing.

Get you’re hands away from me!
I don’t need your kindness.

Will it soothe me?
Will it end my thirst?
You only think that it will.

This is mine.
Mine!
Only mine.
