Note to Self Pity

In your heart it’s unsettled 

Your emotions have gotten all nettled 

So many changes to your way of life

Covid 19 has created so much strife

You made it this far you can rise above

You just need to somehow muster up love

Many words about love have been spoken

All to often those words get broken 

You can sit around and feel sorry for yourself

At the expense of all others you’ve put on a shelf

If you want help or empathy 

It’s ok to get a little from me

Don’t get too absorbed in your unhappiness 

As everything around you becomes a big mess

Mentally strong people meet grief head-on

They send self-pity packing and let it stay gone

Take out the two lettered word ME

You’ll find that’s when self-pity ceases to be

You have the choice to hang on or let go

the answer may be some gratitude needs shown
