Don't pity me, or cry for me...

and certainly, do not humor me!

I could have you feel sorry for me

as I figure out my life,

fighting off a heaviness within my heart...

but I would rather have you

be patient with me, and not pity me...

as I climb out of the abyss

to a "place", mentally,

where I could smile again!

If you 'enable' me, I will get negative attention,

and feel nothing but hopelessness....

and even I, in my state of despair,

know that that is not good for me...

so...don't pity me,

just be a friend, merely 'be there'...

quietly!
