Consolement (in Reverse)

I can handle myself just fine

I always have

But thanks for your dishonest sympathy

Or whatever it is, I guess

 

I've been through this time after time

& time and a half

So thanks for your empty empathy

Half-hearted, at best

 

This feeling has always been mine

& so I laugh

Laugh off your unintended hypocrisy

But I don't mean to jest

 

& don't worry - I don't intend to judge you

Or think any less

 

& don't worry - this feeling will be gone soon

But thanks, I guess...
