Me

 

As far as I’m concerned I am The One.

Just like “The Matrix” I agree.

I hate to be so selfish saying this

But it’s the truth I have to say.

 

I never did find Love I must confess,

So egocentric I just have to be.

I love my parents and my sister too,

But in the end it’s me who faces all

That Life will throw my way.

 

And when I die, then you will too

As far as I’m concerned.

 

No suicide bombing for me my friend,

No martyrdom for me.

Survival Instinct is my god,

Self-preservation is my creed.

 

I offer no apology

Self-centred I may well just be.

The bigger picture holds no sway,

I’ll just keep living day by day.
