Love Poem: Egotistical Grin

Egotistical Grin

How you stand so nonchalant 
When I’m the one who built this font
Doing everything which needs to be done
While you sit idle watching me run

A life I’ve made for our children and us
While you’ve focused on you, unable to discuss
You’ll regret your choices; incapable to go back
Our children have seen what you insufficiently lack

You chose a career over the ones who love you most
Our existence in your life; we’re merely a ghost
But we’re happy with your choice and pacified within
We saw the meaning of life through your egotistical grin
