Fall To Your Knees

When you fall to your knees

And pray for sympathy,

You have lost my empathy

And gained my enmity.

For I don't give a shit,

And I don’t care a whit

For a whiner.

But if you fall to your knees

And pray for strength

You have gained my respect

And I may fight your fight

As though it was my own.

For sometimes things aren’t as they seem,

And sometimes they are just as they seem.

Someone once sang,

“We came into this world

Like a dog without a bone’

Riders on the storm”

And we go on a looking

For that bone,

A place of our own.

Looking to fit.

Hoping for a home

We ride the storm

Until we find a haven,

A place of acceptance.

And someone who will

Share that bone.

Don’t come to me

Looking for sympathy

For things are tough all over.
