Pity Full

Went through
a phase

where I use to wallow
in self pity

Boo Hooing
around the clock

Fixating on each
and every sorrow

Not enough alcohol
to numb the pain

Finally

after bottom feeding
for what seemed
like an eternity

my self sorrow
was fully saturated

I was all wallowed out

So now

when I feel the urge
to mope about

I take
a shot of perspective

count my blessings

and redirect
my bleeding heart
to those
truly in need
of sympathy
