Self-pity
James 1:14 New English Translation
14 But each one is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desires.
Broken in desires and just wishing for death
Is that what’s talked about that makes the whole so sad?
Self-pity
Guilt drives a person to this point when sin compares to the pure
All now touched seems to turn filthy in thoughts, words, and reason
When darkness seems to surround, and shadows linger and endure
The end appears within your reach and produces good looks out of season
Self is self, and is that all that counts? Does nothing else now matter?
Running into oneness trying to escape and get away from the light of day
Everything seems so far away, similar to shadows, which can’t splatter
Into an endless self-made circle, as you stray, with no one here now left to pay
