of all the drugs ever sampled by humans

self-pity has the most addicted

once bitten you cannot stop

inertia doubt medication leave you conflicted

–

you yourself are the victim

found guily and convicted

of all the schemes depravations

and misery ever depicted

–

till one day you have an ephiphany

a burst of sunlight in your mind reflected

this was not what you used to feel

this was not the life they predicted

–

you can struggle and win

get this addiction duly evicted

self pity equals self pain

too much already  inflicted

–

smell the roses

live life unrestricted

self pity is for self losers

you can be a winner in time duly depicted

–

lest these words leave you

too much of a self effort constricted

heal thyself life is too pretty

for you to be so self afflicted
