Sucked into my Own Fear

As time ticks on,
As life lives on,
As we all breathe on,
I change with every passing moment,
Bitterness swallows me whole,
Changing me from what I once was,
To what I am now,
Heartless, selfish...

I care for no one but myself,
I did care once,
But life has kicked me
Once too often,
I'm now becoming
What I've always detested,
An arrogant person, wallowing
In a pool of ignorance...

I feel it day after day,
Arrogance overtaking my heart,
Soon, everyone will hate me,
I've a head start on them all,
I already hate myself
For allowing it to come to this,
The worst thing is,
I can't see myself changing back...

I'm too deep in my own filthy arrogance...
To wade back to the past...
