Do me a favour

sadkw33n

The night sky is begging for me to go home

The streets might be dangerous to venture alone

But i keep on walking a straight endless track

Cause i dread the feelings I'll get once I'm back

 

So do me a favour and please turn away

Cause if i meet your eyes 

I will struggle to fight

All the pride and the shame

Do me a favour and don't ask how i am

Cause I really can't tell

If I'm crazy or well

And you won't understand

 

The light of the morning is heavy for me 

The truth is I'm smoking to make sure i breath

I'll fight with my body and dress on my own

I don't want your help or the pity you've shown

 

So do me a favour and pass me my pills 

Cause your words aren't enough 

Too fake to light up the dark 

So instead let me sleep 

Do me a favour and don't act so concerned 

Cause whenever we speak 

You make me feel like a freak 

And i can see you pretend 

 

Let's not have that talk where I'm left with an act 

If you don't want to listen then please just don't ask

Though i have torn apart my mask 

 

So do me a favour and let's not ever talk

Cause you will turn me down 

before i tell you about 

all the pain i came from

Do me a favour and don't ever come close

Cause this "puppy eye" look 

that says "I'm sorry for you"

Is what i hate the most

Do me that favour

    Sometimes there's help, and that's great, but sometimes you just want people to listen to you.

      Indeed. When you're fighting your battles and you're struggling everyday, it's just tiring to also have people who pretend they care to deal with too. Thanks for commenting!

      'Cause if i meet your eyes
      I will struggle to fight'

      'Cause your words aren't enough
      Too fake to light up the dark'

      'Do me a favour and don't ever come close
      Cause this "puppy eye" look
      that says "I'm sorry for you"
      Is what i hate the most
      Do me that favour'..
      (indeed
      we must be wary, of our own
      intensions
      for however, impassioned our intent
      for good
      if all our presence, adds
      is toxicity, to that individuals
      Fight..
      then, we must Learn
      to surrender
      so as, to Empower
      that individual's, right
      to interpret
      the worlds, as and how
      they wish to..
      we just have to find
      the strength
      to offer them, the distance
      they need
      while being ready, to catch them
      should they ever
      call out for us
      at sometime, in the future)
      a Brilliant write!
      thanks for sharing, dear poet
      sorry for messing with your poem
      and for my lengthy comment
      try to believe
      I meant no disrespect, in doing so
      just got carried away
      with your poetry's, profound message

        All so true, people pretend like they care and and ask us to be open but when we do,we find that they are not really willing to listen as they offered. At the end of the day it’s not their problem and we are left alone. But at some rare occasions we come across people who really care and who are willing to listen. But it pisses us when people tend to pity us, it’s not like we are asking for sympathy but a little bit of understanding and a shoulder to cry on. The content is really relatable!

          Thanks! I'm not sure I'm glad you can relate, but I'm definitely glad you liked it and commented on it. Sometimes we just don't want somebody's fake concern lingering around us. I think I'm better off alone than with people who pretend they care. It's better this way... lonelier but better.

            Can’t agree more!
