Poetry: Don't pity me

If I am lost and wandering
aimlessly through life
don't pity me
offer me direction

If I am tired, aching, had enough
of being someones wife
don't pity me
offer me support

If I have squandered my last penny
on drugs and alcohol
don't pity me
offer me advice

If I am in a rut, depressed
struggling to score a goal
don't pity me
offer me your friendship

And most of all
don't pity me
if I have given up
on life itself
offer me hope

I have no use for your pity

    At my place under the big oak tree.
    For years I've sat in this heart of the city;

    Don't pity me

    for I have survived.

    I once lost everything

    but made my way back.

    It was ten long years

    of clawing and crawling

    REDEMPTION

    Your sympathy, I don't need;

    I am responsible, for my bad deed.
