Self Pity
Here I sit and
Dine on my pity
Of the people I knowingly displeased.
Here I sit and
Whine on the morrow
Of the things I regretfully failed to do.
Here I sit and fight to
Drink the bile that sprang
From the well of mine own sins
It has left me without the will
To taste of life
Never more

This is nice. You aren't alone though.
Maybe we could have a banquet and celebrate how we are utterly useless and stuck in the abeyance of uselessness.

Thank you Empty Tree I was afraid no one would like it. I wrote this during the time of my divorce when I was drinking a little bit too much. I call it my dark period.

And I hope you stood from your chair...
When my self-pity danced into my head, I tell it stay for tea and ask if it wants me dead.
It never replies, just sits by my side--
Until I order it to leave, and never return.
But, just like pesky in-laws, it never listens~
Never allow it to stay for more than a day, or it can ruin the rhythm of your daily life.
Easier said than done, I know--
Have you cured yourself? Or did you stand up, only to sit back down after awhile?
