Self Denial

The want.
The craving.
The need.
I said no.
But what about me?
Why can't I have?
Why must I be denied?
Must we go over this, again?
You heard what I said.
But it is not fair?
Who said life is fair?
But others have.
Why can they have and not me?
Why must I suffer?
What made them better?
I am acting like
I don't hear you
so give it up.
Who made you my conscience
and put you in charge?
Drop it I say.
Can't you admit
it would be nice?
What if it was you?
Would you let it go?
You know how
I feel about it
and I said no.
Your heartless.
Yes, so learn to live with it.
How can you be so calm?
How can you be so cruel?
You like making me
do without;
don't you?
Grow up.
You are making a fool
out of yourself.
Try to be reasonable
about it.
Think about what is best.
I am ignoring you now.
How do you like it?
How does it feel
when it is you?
But the joke is on you.
Don't you get it?
Get what?
I am you.
