Man of Self Pity

Iam moved by the words you say lam grived by the words you utter You are a vine that has been cut off and left without water Happiness takes over your heart when everyone is around In such a way you feel bound Loneliness takes over you when you are on your own You feel like a nobody To you self pity is a river and you drown yourself in it You are a victim and everyone is out there to get you ln your heart you say "no one has seen the trouble l have seen" In your mind you say "Failure was meant for me" You have forgotten to hold on to your self worth That man in you fears rejection and so rejects first You wish you have success other people have What you do not know is they have their own shares of problems too You spend your days in mourning And your head is covered in ashes The sun shines on everyone but you Listen man of self pity it is time you opened your eyes to the little blessings you have Get up and face life with its challenges Its time you open your eyes to the little blessings you have Some people will give anything to have what you have
