Poetry: Don't pity me

If you see that I struggle

because I'm a child,

don't pity me.

See that I'm learning. See what I've learned.

If you see that the years show

in these tired eyes,

don't pity me.

See all my riches.

Know that I'm whole.

When my burden is heavy

or my journey too far,

don't pity me.

See that I'm strong.

See how I keep going on.

While battering storms winds

unsettle this life,

don't pity me.

See I'm still standing.

Know I'm stilll strong.

When the rain beats down

and tears turn to floods,

don't pity me.

Know tears won't kill me.

Know, too, I'll still find some sun.

If you know that I'm hungry

then give me some food.

If you know that I'm tired

then help me.

If you know that I'm friendless

then just be my friend.

but don't pity me.

Though struggles and sadness

will challenge a soul.

Pity's for the pitiful.

Don't pity me.

I am whole.

    I see people walking by, staring at me,
    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.
