I walk the streets in silence,
With bread bags to cover my feet,
But I do not walk alone,
So don't pity me.
I live in a house made of cardboard,
With three walls and a roof,
But I do not live alone,
So don't pity me.
I dig through other's trash for food,
And I eat what I can find,
But I do not dine alone,
So don't pity me.
I pray in the house of God,
My clothes ill fit for church,
But my strength, My Lord, stands with me,
So don't pity 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
