Laughing Cougar Poet Rhyme

Pity Me

Pity Me! 
Should we pity those who feel no pity? 
Those who’ve become so disturbed, that they have become bloodthirsty 
Can it truly be the only way one should feel alive, 
That one quick slip and one will surely die? 
They have lost the ability for compassion 
Their inner anguish seems everlasting 
Incapable of showing mercy, 
The only way that they become free 
Is through death; Pity me! Humanity! Pity Me! 
Because I fear that it is only through your pity; that I have anything left!

Janet Runyan May 22, 2015 at 10:39 PM Ooh how this made me cry. I don't know who you meant this to be about but the town and surrounding towns I grew up in, everyone got addicted to drugs. I've lost way too many friends to death, lots to just cutting off contact because I didn't want to lose anyone else and because I just didn't fall into the habits. But this is their attitude. I praise this poem. I had a poem by you in my favs, I'm adding this and you to my fav poets. Great work.
