feeling sorry for myself

by Lisa-Dawn Sparling

I 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.

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!
