Poetry: Don't pity me

by LeFlames

Created on: June 30, 2010

Don't pity me,

As I am sitting here,

On the side of the road.

It may seem I have nothing,

But I have more than most.

Memories,

Happiness,

Peace,

All are mine.

I ponder what I once had.

A huge house,

With windows and doors,

A family full of love,

And laughter,

A job I looked forward to each day.

But then,

Those vultures,

Descended upon me,

Like a piece of carrion.

Piece by piece they ripped apart,

My perfect life.

Don't pity me.

I had it all,

But i trusted the vultures.

I should have known,

They would turn against me.

Those vultures did me a favor.

Once I was one of them,

Ripping,

And tearing.

Now, I am my own.

Don't pity me.
