Don't Help Me

by Samantha - Scorpio

Please...
Don't look at me like that
As though when you see me... you feel pity
Or an obligation to help me
Ease the pain from me by doing certain things 
Just so I won't have to do it
Please... don't help to lift that
Or hold that
Or... just do everything possible so that I won't have to lift a finger
No.
Just stop.
And just... listen to me for a second
When I tell you this
Don't change how you view me
Don't look at me differently
Don't do anything other than what you do normally
Please? 
If you were to do anything for me
Please let it be that
Because
I'm the same person I used to be
The same... little me that you always knew
So don't change how you act
How you treat me
Just because...
I tell you, there's something wrong with me
Something different than what was before
Because I don't want to know/
I don't want to realise
Or look at reality
And find that I really can't
Do things for myself anymore
Cause I don't have the strength
That I used to...

Reason for writing:

    I wish this wasn't based on real life but that's just what it is
