Self-Pity
I wanted to write a poem today
but the words I couldn’t find.
What could I possibly say
when to all beauty, I am blind?
Maybe if I just went outside
and breathed the country air.
And from the world, I didn’t hide.
I’d have something to share.
I wanted to write a poem today
even if it was only a little ditty
Yet within my own head I stay
While wallowing in self-pity!
