When you are lost
there is no one who can help find you
no one that can help with words
feelings fall flat as black slate

If someone tries to talk
You shut out what they are saying
Closing out the " I love you" lines
caring only about "leave me alone"

So you just have to wait
until a flower catches your eye
and you realize that you don't care
and your neglect has caused it to wither

This is the definition of selfish
This is all that bitterness cultivates
No creation left in that sad soul
Nothing but waste in your empty hole

So true my friend, so true.  Hit close with this one.

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.

Wakes me up, this does.   here I have been feeling a little selfish lately..wanting to be alone and keep my attitude and such.   I love the way you write. I believe that I have told ya that before, right?
