When you walk by me and see my struggles
Please don't pity me
When you see that I need help with the door
Please don't pity me
Could you open it please?
When you see that I'm not as fast as you
Please don't pity me
Just give me patience.
When your not sure what I'm saying
Don't pity me
Just ask me again I will try to answer clearer.
Please I don't need your pity
I need your compassion
I need your patience
I need your respect
As I respect you for having a body that works
Please don't pity me
For having a body that doesn't work as well as you think it should.
I don't pity you for being you
So please don't pity me for me being 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
