No Pity

Cut me, cut me, I feel nothing in this world
No one cares or shares my story today.
My pain goes beyond even yesterday.
I have no idea, when it begun or will end.
Or even if the thing I do, will kill me.
Or do I even do it, or is it something.
Maybe someone, from within my mind,
Or is it a memory, from within my heart.
That sabotages myself and tears me apart.
I am not the problem, as they all say I am.
Voices shout and eyes stare at me so.
Inside I scream for help and understanding.
I hunger, as I chew and spit this poison.
I hide these sacrifices, from those who love.
Anger of times past; haunts my future tomorrow.
Do not pity me or surround me with sorrow.

Cecil, you are wrong. Someone does care and has shared your story today. I can only hope your tomorrows are brighter. You have an original writing style that captivates me. Happy Valentine's Day, Carolyn
