Sorry for Yourself

When I was little, my mother told me "Stop feeling sorry for yourself!" I was angered and enraged because that's exactly what I felt! If nobody else cries for me, then surely I should give it a try! Boo-hoo me! Can't you all see? How hard it is for yours truly? But then you look around between your cries and realize that they may pity you, feel shitty for you, but pity is not what you wanted Pity has never fixed a problem, Or raised one from the bottom And nothing will get better until you get it together It doesn't take long to tell that weeping for your cause won't get anyone to help, and only you can help yourself
