SELF PITY
At your wits end
Just dodged a bullet
Gates remain closed
Catch 22 situation
Grasping at the straws
Last resort exhausted
In dire straits cought in a vicious cycle
Misconstrued and
Misconceived
Fumbled regularly already
Darkness in the alley
Gave it your all
It wasn't meant to be that's all
Adds more misery
When others are doing it easily
What you cannot do once
People repeating it habitually
Do not waste
A thought on the other
They knew how to conquer
You don't and it don't matter
Until you see them
Their existence not aware
If you do see them
Socially be decent
Dice with death
Coming out of this strech
Sailing close to the wind
Reaching ashore is by itself a win
Beware the way
You want to react
To anything that
Takes your dreams away
Any reaction or perception
Is alright given the circumstances
Only one should be avoided
The one that can get most easily addicted
Self Pity and Self loathing
Focused on the replaying syndrome
Fantasy and Reality juxtaposing
Feeling bad about the situation
Self pity a drug
Addictive with no respite
Absorbed in the rejection
Feeling sorry for self the concern
Focus only on yourself
Will marginalise you
Hoping things could have been better off
Future and past will be the same
Self pity is destruction
Of the Soul
Nothing more worse
Than feeling sorry for yourself
Tend to ignore
Others and their problems
Selfishness interludes till
It engulfs you
Alienated from others
So absorbed in oneself
Failing to try
Or even for a recess
Ingratitude and Apathy
Denial playing victim
Expecting only Sympathy
If not received delving further deep
No one noticed
You are hurting
Obstacle to yourself
Negativity inflicted overflowing
Best way out
Treat it as a blessing
That nothing is happening
Blessed don't feel sorry
Use it to grow
Now you know
What not to do
Greatest lesson rejection can teach
It is the easy way out
Easy never got anyone anywhere
Take the hard road
Face it face to face and say Thank you
Withdrawal effect will
Last many years
Teetoatteler to self pity
Is by not taking yourself seriously
