In the mirror’s selfish gaze,
Reflections of a solitary maze,
Where whispers of the heart remain,
Bound in chains of silent disdain.
Chasing shadows of desire,
A flame that burns with hollow fire,
Yet leaves the soul in endless night,
Hungering for another’s light.
The world spins on, a careless dance,
While selfish dreams take their stance,
Upon the stage of fleeting time,
Ignoring love’s gentle chime.
Yet deep within, a voice does yearn,
For selfless paths and lessons learned,
To break the chains of selfish ends,
And find a world where kindness mends.
