Is it selfishness or arrogance?

by a broken smile with a broken heart is a poets life   Sep 13, 2007


I try to do the right thing
At least that's what i think,
But in the view of others I'm just thinking of me.
I try to control the situation and make everything flow right,
But to them I'm wrong.
I care too much, some say
I try to hard for God's sake!
Perfection at its best
Or disaster on its way?
The pain of not being able to have it my way (the right way)
Makes me insane.
Sadness consumes my soul,
Anger invades my thoughts.
I'm on my way to the top
Or am I falling down?
They say I'm right others say I'm wrong.
So which one is it, am I right or am I wrong?
Confusion and desperation runs down,
Trying to understand.
I take the world on my shoulders and regret is my only reward.
So is it selfishness or arrogance?
Is it Truth or is it Lies?
My intentions are questioned constantly,
But only i know what i think,
And I'm RIGHT.
There is no they in my life
only I.
