aimlessly through life
don't pity me,
offer me direction
If I am tired, aching, had enough

on drugs and alcohol
don't pity me,
offer me advice

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
