yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift, thats why we call it the present.

I’m not here for sympathy,
I don’t need any tears.
I’ve been through a lot over the years,
But that’s my business; it’s not made for your ears.
I appreciate the help & support,
But leave my life alone, this isn’t no news report.

You're really good at short poems! I've feel this way a lot with my friends. Sometimes I just want them to listen but at times it just seams like they pity me. And for the last line It sounds an awful lot like my grandmother. She sits around all day watching my family and makes accusations that are usually always wrong.
