I am not a waste, I am human

I am not a throw away
Nor a FREAKING commodity
I am not white trash
Nor an anomaly
I am not a waste of skin
Nor a waste of time
I may be old
But there is light
In these eyes of mine

I don't need to be coddled
Nor humored
I don't need your false sympathy
But true warmth
And empathy
I don't need to give up
Nor give in
Just need you to be there for me
Hold my hand
When my light lamp
Burns down

First stanza`s a mixture of your emotions and the rest one`s of .. about "love" .. you want a real nice love not a fake one.. and I think, you even deserve to earn and love the love because your heart`s as special as your persona around the world so, the world adores you, sweetheart and yeah.. You ain`t a waste of skin nor even a "white trash" at all.. what you are is that what you really are, A true form of love itself in disguise of you. Well pen`d! Keep smiling, sweetheart ;)

This is a biting piece, defiant and strong.
