This Done To Do Is Not Selfish
This to do is not selfish.
Although suspected as arrogance,
Determined displayed!
A kept belief in oneself.
Before anyone else to do done first.
May, for others, not what they accept.
Although quick they are to disrespect,
Those who neglect themselves.
To expect,
There is something wanted to get.
With a doing to reject,
First.
What they perceive,
Is an opportunistic arrogance.
Wishing to want an ego fed.
And that's it.
With nothing more to offer or less!
'I am concerned about you.
But, I can also be impartial too!'
'Oh?
And what or who,
Do you contribute your loyalty to?'
'Me, Of course.
However...
Don't confuse,
My doing of this is selfish!
It's a kept belief I have in myself.'
'First, I bet.
Isn't it?'
'Yes!
And why shouldn't I feel that way?'
