Selfish

What's with these harsh words of criticism
all I ever did was do what I was told
above and beyond my call of duty even

But the harsh blows of your speech hurt
why did I even ever bother trying to impress you
there's no point in my pride either
all that feeling receives is a judgmental quarrel

My work here is through
emotions and all else fail, so why bother
the corner of the room seems so inviting
crawl away like the pathetic worm I am
off I hide to hinder my wounds and stitch myself together
a self centered bitch has no rank among her foes
