Antithetical

Antithetical 

You think you’re good

You think you’re kind

You think you’re the one 

That puts the needs of others

Before yourself

But that is antithetical

To who you really are

You are selfish

You are mean-spirited

You are a bully

That lashes out at others

Even as they try to help

Everything you say you are

Is everything you are not

The only thing you care about

Is yourself

The rest of us don’t matter
