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!

(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
Thank you very much! It's my pleasure to read your comments, you always have something interesting to say. So don't worry about the length. Just write what you want to write. I promise I'll read it😉. Thanks for your flattering comment again my friend!
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!
