Blinded

I have hurt ones around me
and wish to take it back.
I wish I could wipe away tears I've caused
and change the way I act.

I only thought of myself
and didn't know how anyone felt.
I didn't know how everyone has pain
and how anyone else had fell.

I thought I had it bad
but one thing I did learn
is that everyone has problems
and it doesn't come by turn.

Now I'm left without anyone,
not a soul there.
It's not because of my looks
or my personal flare,

It was because sadness got me
when my life wasn't all that bad.
But I saw it too late,
I lost all the friends I had.

I was just plain selfish
and was too blind to see
that everyone cries,
it's not only me.
