Lament

I weep for myself
Because nobody else dares to
I’m no less deserving of sympathy
I deserve a little compassion too
Even more so because I get none
Except that which I give myself

I talk to myself
Because nobody else dares to
I’m no less deserving of company
I deserve a little interaction too
Even more so because I get none
Except that which I give myself

I caress myself
Because nobody else dares to
I’m no less deserving of intimacy
I deserve a little satisfaction too
Even more so because I get none
Except that which I give myself

I remember myself
Because nobody else dares to
I’m no less deserving of memory
I deserve a little recognition too
Even more so because I get none
Except that which I give myself

I forgive myself
Because nobody else dares to
I’m no less deserving of empathy
I deserve a little absolution too
Even more so because I get none
Except that which I give myself

I should end myself
Because nobody else dares to
I’m no less deserving of finality
I deserve a little conclusion too
Even more so because I get none
Except that which I give myself

  2. I feel like some of this sometimes, but don't think about the last stanza much- think I deserve to live, tho no one else says I should want to...
    I've been on my own for many moons now, n am well used to it.
    Can't stand getting bossed around at all, either!

You may put in your 2¢ worth, but I'll only pay you a penny for your thoughts.
