I asked for your counsel,
In a time of need I
Sought accommodation.
Expecting your support
I received nothing, but
A petulant reply.
If you truly knew me
You would have seen the scars
That so readily show
The battles I survived.
If you could not see those
It's understandable
You would be unaware
The help I asked of you
Was meant for another
And not at all for me.
