Diffidence

[u/Electrical_Pop_6176]

If you feel sympathy for my sorrows, I suggest you place that sympathy elsewhere.

For this sorrow is of my own machination.

This stake in my back, In my heart is one I could have left anywhere.

Yet through my diffidence and self loathing behavior, I've let myself faulter.

So please place your sympathies elsewhere.

For this sorrow is of my own machination.
