I shout and swear

About how you don’t care

And you just presume that I’m strong

Yet if you actually asked

It’s a one hundred percent fact

That I’d lie to you all day long

The Self Pity Party

So many nights I’ve cried,

Feeling dead inside,

Whilst wrestling with my neurosis.

Now I can’t help but discern,

Despite your care and concern,

That you haven’t even noticed.
