Selfish Pity Poem by Rachel Fogle

Allow me to introduce myself,
It's been so long since we've met.

I'm that chip on your shoulder you haven't lifted yet.

Yes.....you know who I mean.....
The one who pretends to no longer need.

Alone you sit not caring at your will,
Guided by your triumph of will.

To long now you sit & wait for desinty to come by chance.

Allow me to remind you,
You stopped living not I.
I olny allowed you to dwell on the pity you held inside.

However, now I am here to brake this chain.

To awaken the heart....or the shell you have made.

Selfish pity need not be there,
Alone in the dark to hide & bare.
The aching of ending and the hatred of love,
Only to learn, many years have come upon us.

This selfish pity you hold close to your heart,
Leave you with nothing only bleakness & lonelyness inside.

I am here to push it away to tell you it's ok to love again.

To unlock the love you so need to give,
Selfish pity has no room in this life,
You are to beautiful to live hollow inside.

Lift yourself up,
Let it all free,
And that selfish pity will only flee.

This is your moment, this is yours to share.....

Don't let go.......give love that chance.
