I Do Not Deserve This – Written Monday 16th May 2006 (Aged 31)

I Do Not Deserve This

i do not deserve this
i did nothing out of spite
i did nothing,
with malicious intention
you claim –
that you have compassion
yet, just for not coping
this is what you do
you waste your precious life
sending messages to strangers
telling them –
just how awful i am
you claim –
you are bursting with understanding
yet, you understand nothing
you act as nothing more –
nothing more than a vicious child
