Self, Less

I would, if I could
If I were not so afraid
I should, for the good
If the price were paid
by someone else
someone not me
someone to
stand in the rain,
and feel the pain
with nothing to gain

give me
I want
let me have it now
give me
I want
I will take it now

I deserve,
what I want
I should have
what you have
my life is difficult
but despite my rage
I flounder in apathy
I stagnate in sympathy
it is not my fault
it is not my problem

give me
I want
let me have it now
give me
I want
I will take it now

why am I hollow
why am I alone
would I have a friend
if I made a clone
in the center
of my universe
there is only me and mine
with everything
surrounding me
I am an empty hole
