An Invitation

BY ABBAS FEROZ

I'm throwing a pity party
Everyone's invited
I'll be the center of attention,
I've never been so excited

We'll have balloons and music,
and plenty of food
Enough distractions present
to indulge my many moods

Shower me in praise
Tell me I'm not so bad
Choke me with compliments
Tell me not to be sad

We'll cut a cake of lies
Let's drink and get stoned
Forget these familiar feelings,
remind me I'm not alone
