Sometimes I Am Mean

I am usually selfless,

But sometimes I am mean enough,

To be selfish,

For my own good,

To make the best out of the awkward.

When I was studying,

I use to be quite a serious student,

I never liked it,

Anyone should be allowed,

To waste my time.

So I had a strategy,

Whenever something,

I found it not useful,

I will send somebody else,

Else I can devote my time to academics.

Once we were going on a cross country walk,

I and my friends were all tired,

But we want to finish it together,

Suddenly a vehicle came,

He offered us a lift.

Everyone refused,

When I was asked,

I was silent,

So rest of the friends insisted,

I should avail.

I was so selfish,

That I didn't give it a thought,

Everyone refused,

I agreed,

And availed.

I reached my destination,

Well in advance,

And was immediately hooked to studies,

On the other hand,

Others were struggling to reach.

They all were tired,

But I realized my mistake,

To be selfish,

For the sake of my own goal,

Others sacrificed their opportunity.

Whenever I think of this incident,

I feel hurt,

I realized the greatness of my other friends,

They put me in comfort,

And suffered themselves.
