I Didn'T Ask

Didn't ask to be born 
Didn't ask anyone like me
Didn't ask for loneliness 
Yet I show only happiness

Didn't ask to be hated 
Didn't ask for pity
Didn't ask for smiles
I will tolerate it all for a while 

Didn't ask what you think
Didn't ask for your opinion
I didn't ask to be me
I didn't ask to be unique

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
