Pity
Back | Marred By Enlightenment | Next

I don't need your courtesy call
I don't need your sympathy
I don't need your understanding
I don't need your pity
I don't need your help
I'll be fine, you'll see
I don't need you
To do anything for me
I have hurt long
Maybe never hurt more
But I have lived
Without you before
You come and go
So I have learned not to rely
On someone
That loves to make me cry
That degrades me to sissy like
For always crying
Parades me as a loser
For simply trying
I guess it'd be easier
To never try for real
At least when I don't try
I can never fail
Or is that
Just another empty lie
I fail every time
I fail to try
Whatever the reasons
Whatever the rhyme
You got me feeling
Like this all the time
Where do I get the help
This world wont allow me to seek
MTV tells me it's because I'm sick
Not because I'm weak
You try living in a world
That wont allow you to live
You try expressing your feelings
To those who shun the sensitive
And you try telling your family
All the times you've cried
When they were seeing the world in you
You only saw suicide
I wonder if pride
Would still fill their eyes
Or just the heartbreaking sound
Of a mothers cry
Anyone that has really felt my pain
Knows this is a sickness
But most constantly say I feel this way
Because I'm selfish
And I'm a coward
That can't deal with common sense
But those unfeeling bastards
Are drowning in their own ignorance
But that's a part of life
I don't need them to agree with me
But most of all
I don't need your fucking pity
