Self pity is a pesky mosquito
A puny parasite - incognito
An annoying neighbor
Intrudes at little behest
A litany to lull rational mind to rest
A tattered blanket to take refuge from cold
A viral infection marked by sore throat & runny nose
A silly jester on stage,
Performing an act
Apt for disgrace
No ovation, no applause falls on eardrums
A minister at the House of Boredom
A proclamation of a subject-less Czar
A vanity mirror of a lethargic queen
A coward enemy
Runs off the battle field
To the sound of a mere gunshot
A small key to a big lock
A boulder on the glory road
A hopeless drunken dervish
A peril
A devil
A spell
That must be cast away at all cost!
