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

Poetry: Don't pity me
by Jane Allyson
I drew the flash of temper,
I am the one to blame.
I made the heart grow heavy,
I caused the eyes to flame.
I was weak and
Don't pity me because my hair is gray:
years took its toll, causing my back to sway,
roads were rocky and hills hard to climb,
nights
Don't pity me
the woman whispered
even though I die alone,
for I have lived a full life,
never stooping to pick up
after
Don't pity me all you people,
the very ones who shot me down;
making sure when I was happy,
somehow you caused a frown.
Don't
I am an old man, whithered and bent
My youth and vigor are all spent
You may think it's sad, don't
