Pity*

Posted on July 5, 2011 | 5 Comments

Pity is a selfish emotion.

Who does it help as it sways like the ocean?

We hang on to it like it’s going to help;

All it does is drag us to the bottom like getting caught in kelp.

*Changed from “Sympathy” to “Pity” based on caring feedback.

This is so true, whether it’s self pity or pity for others. Well poemed, Michael. Thank you!
