Array ( [sid] => 3976 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => No More Pity [time] => 2002-09-18 16:18:09 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I am tired of that look.
That look of pity and sympathy.
Maybe it is me who has mistook.
Your face for apathy.

I can't comprehend why.
I feel the pain I do inside.
I know I try to keep it hidden from you.
That is something that I must do.

I can't blame you for now knowing.
I can blame myself for not showing.
Showing you just what it feels to be me.
To be trapped in my mind and want to be free.

You must get scared sometimes.
When I can't get his voice out of my mind.
Believe me it scares me too.
Just realize that it is not you.

I only ask from you one small favor.
Don't look at me and think, "I could save her!"
I dont' want to be saved by anyone.
By myself I need to learn to run. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 182 [topic] => 32 [informant] => makx10 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

Any heart that loves you will want to save you, so run alone if you must but if you fall realize that there will be a hand there waiting to help you up.

I've been on both sides of the fence and realize that sometimes it's harder to watch someone we care about struggle than it is to be the one struggling. Don't push away something good trying to make it all alone.

Luck... and good write.

Those are definitely great words of wisdom. I wrote that at the start of my struggle and with time and a lot of heart felt talks with my significant other, I have learned to admit when I need help and ask for it too! Thanks for the input. =)
