feeling sorry for myself by Lisa-Dawn SparlingI cannot be a better person than I am right now.
I cannot give more of myself than I have already given,
I cannot be any kinder than the caring I have shown,
I cannot sacrifice any more of myself without being completely empty.
I guess to day I feel sorry for myself,
And wish that the rain cloud left my head,
And the cloud full of four leaf clovers would sit above me.
I guess today I am feeling all the guilt,
For feeling sorry for myself when there is people that need me,
And people that love me.
I need to remind myself that I am lucky for my life,
And lucky to have everything I have,
Because even if it was just me and a carboard box,
At least I had a roof over my head,
Which is more than other people can say. 08/19/2004 Author's Note: please keep your negative comments to yourself, not in the mood for them today.

Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 08/28/04 at 12:02 PM Brilliant update to that old expression, "count your blessings." Excellent opening lines that pull any reader right in, and a very strong closure to match the opening. Well done Lisa-Dawn! |
