We All Have Good Reasons

I say I have a good reason to keep the money

I say I want to help the world

That I’m doing it for them not me

I say it again and convince myself I’m good

I say it enough that I really believe I would

But it’s not for them

I do it all for me

I want to be great

And set myself free

If I am smarter than the rest

If I make everybody notice

If I have more of all the best

If only I can be more than this

Then I think I can love myself

Then it will be okay

But it won’t.

I won’t

It’s a lie

I can just love myself now

Not anything to prove

I am worthy of love

I deserve the truth
