Do Not Pity Me
September 24, 2018
Do not pity me
It will only make things worse
Do not look at me like that
Like you can see the exhaustion
Pulling at my body
Begging for some peace and quiet
Do not tell me what to do
I will do the opposite
Not because I am stubborn
No
Because I am afraid of orders
I can not be controlled
Not anymore
I am sick
I am broken
I am hurting
I know
You know
But do not pity me
For I will hide it with all of my might
And that
Will only make things worse
