I have heard that self pity is an unhealthy form of grief,
I have, also, been told that bitterness is misguided grief,
There is a lot more to grief than a person may realize,
It is important to share our feelings and to cry about loss,
This is healthy and does give relief from grief,
Maybe if we find ourselves to be feeling sorry for ourself,
Or if we feel bitterness towards life or towards others,
It may be best to consider working our way through the underlying grief,
If we grieve the past and what had to be,
And grieve about the future and what was to be,
Chances are "today" will be filled with self pity,
Like a ship stuck in a barrier reef,
So, too, we can be held in place by an underlying grief.
