Do not pity me,
I’ll be alright.
And though I’ll cry,
All through the night,
I will be fine.
I feel so dead,
And yet so alive.
I don’t really know,
How long I can survive
This darkness of mine.
It’s getting too dark.
I cannot see.
Until a light appears,
Suddenly,
Above me.
These wounds will never heal,
I know,
But at least now,
They seem lesser so,
With you in my heart.
You may want to leave,
And I’ll understand.
There’s no sense staying with me;
Lifeless, ugly, bland,
Dead.
So stay awhile with me,
Hold me close to you,
Steal all my candy,
And laugh at the things I do,
To try and make you smile.
But even if you leave,
I want you to know,
That I will always be here for you,
No matter how it goes.
Because I have a debt to give,
A life to repay,
For the time you saved me,
From all my sad and lonely days.
So I may not be pretty, or funny, or smart,
But at least I have this poem to give,
And my entire HEART.
For my sister and her friends, and their lack of sanity.
