Self

I can't feel sorry for anybody
Too busy feeling sorry for myself
I can't sympathize with anyone
Too busy looking out for myself

Self
My sister says I'm selfish
Self
I prefer self-centered
Self
Self-oriented sounds even better
Self
It's every man for himself

We're all going down with this ship
Nobody on this boat can survive
If you don't drown, the sharks will get you
Bloody the water, eat you alive

Self
My sister says I'm selfish
Self
I prefer self-centered
Self
Self-oriented sounds even better
Self
It's every man for himself

You must believe in self-defense
It's a vicious world out there
I'm taking care of number one
Death is the only thing we share

Self
My sister says I'm selfish
Self
I prefer self-centered
Self
Self-oriented sounds even better
Self
It's every man for himself

I really like this. It could use a little bit of editing to make the rhyme scheme a little more complicated and, therefore, more attention grabbing. I like how you stuck to the topic though. I think it's a topic that many people can relate with, and that it's something that isn't really talked about much, but the way you did it was near perfect. With a little more length, love, and editing, this can be gold.
