I promised I'd post a better poem of the same issue so here it is. I thought I wouldn't specify so others can apply it to themselves in their own way without knowing what the actual issue the author was writing about is.

some things are just too personal

things you cannot understand

so please do not try

do not ask me to give you a chance

because I know that it is impossible

and I am not looking for sympathy

especially not the superficial kind

my wounds are mine alone

though they are shared by many

I do not want your help

I want you to be fun

to be you

and not to bring up my mistakes

and just let me feel how I feel

for better or for worse

do not try to be the one

to bring a candle into darkness

let the sun shine where it does

do not give me advice

because I will ask for it if I need it

and when my eyes seem far away

do not bring me back

do not ask me how I am

do not feel sorry for me

because if you could hear the guitar

and the voice of the singer

and the flute

you would understand that all of this

is what the sun brought out

and as we know, the Earth revolves

and all things under the sun

get their fair share of the light
