Sympathy (Poem)

Don't give me sympathy dear

I do not crave to be heard

I am not making myself a victim

Like she did with him

There is a reason my cuts are not shown

Because this life is my own

And I will only tell of it if I wish to

Victimizing is not something I do

So much so that I keep it all in

Until I feel I am falling apart from within

And even then I hesitate to scream

For help when I am tearing at the seams

There is a reason I never tell about my trauma

Because it is not my intention to start drama

So don't give me sympathy

Even when I am drowning and cannot breathe

I don't need you to save me

I don't want you drowning with me

So stay on the shore where it is safe and warm

Because my pain does not need to cause harm

To the poor souls around me

Trying to save me...

I don't need your sympathy!
