Care I Not
I don’t want your pity,
Appreciated though it may be,
I care not for the attention.
Only understanding,
Simply a friendly hand
Is what I want.
Why care I
If you think things should
‘be better’?
They aren’t.
Nor do they appear
To be growing near.
So when I share
The woes I feel
To your lent ear,
Care not I
For sympathy.
Just your love,
Only your trust.
