Poetry: Don't pity me

by I William

Created on: April 06, 2009

The world spins around me
Utter chaos takes control
My existence insignificant
As this reality unfolds

A life without a purpose
A life without a plan
Is thrown into a pack of wolves
And dared to take a stand

Though battered and beaten
Quite bloodied and torn
Integrity shall be my shield
With pride and dignity reborn

I do not seek such riches
As I am told I surely must
I simply seek true kindness
What is right and what is just

A fight to the death against hatred
Turning my back to lust and greed
With a physical body that's dying
The strength of soul is all I need

I ignore the false compassion
And discount fake sympathy
The attempts shall go unnoticed
To place such pity upon me
