Pity Party
I had a pity party, but I just invited me
I was such a mess, wanted nobody to see
I moaned and I bawled in my poor misery
I wallowed all around in pure self-pity
I took a day off from teaching school
I didn’t want to be caught acting like a fool
I stayed in the bed all day and read a book
I cried so hard that my whole body shook
I got up the next morning, showered and got dressed
Fixed my hair, applied makeup, needed to look my best
Went on off to school and I was not depressed at all
Wrote him off for good and now I am standing tall
