A Study in Selfishness

Can you just not
Can you just not pretend you care
Can you just not act like you're interested in my life
Or what's going on
Can you?
Can you really?
Because I know you're not
And I know you never have been
Can you just not
Can you just not play the victim
Can you just not act like this is everyone's fault
But yours
Can just take responsibility for once
Like an adult
Like the adult you can't be
But I'm wasting my breath
Asking you to be reasonable
To see things from my point of view
To understand that this doesn't affect
Just you
And I know that you don't care
You never have
Not really
Not about anyone
Not about me
Or anyone
Just yourself
And I think that it's about time
That I stop wishing and hoping you would change
Because you won't
Because you're selfish
And something that will never change
