Here I lie in the corner,
Beaten, broken, and alone.
The sirens scream outside, coming to rescue me.
My mother has run away, abandoning her child.
A strange man has come in the room,
He freezes in the doorway, a tear in his eye.
Rage flares up inside me.

No matter how cruelly I’ve been treated,
I don’t want your pity.
I hate your pity,
I HATE YOUR PITY!!

I have no family,
I have no friends.
I have only myself and the wondrous Lord
No one wants me,
No one needs me.

No matter how cruelly I’ve been treated,
I don’t want your pity.
I hate your pity,
I HATE YOUR PITY!!

I don’t know how to deal with my emotions,
Therefore, I’m a very violent child.
I’ve been in many street fights,
Only to come out with new scratches and broken bones.
You may never know what could have happened.

No matter how cruelly I’ve been treated,
I don’t want your pity.
I hate your pity,
I HATE YOUR PITY!!
