Leveled

I fought like Hades
To obtain a level of self-worth
That I was broken from
Long ago
Suddenly, I am the toy
Now I am accused of self-pity
Using stubborness as my shield
Astonished I am
Are you one
Not understanding the woes
Most suffer from?
Day-to-day
Means absolutely shit
To those who have not
The karmic cycle
Follows hard
Toward uncompassionate
Insensitivity
Deafened ears
Hearts turned to stone
