Balanced?

I am completely different than you think

Shedding my normal and kind skin

To fit the purpose of this world

Violent, unpredictable, stupid

When you reach for a top-shelf product

It may

Fall down in a moment

Crashing a child or my head

Which have the same value as you

And yet you put yourself above

Thinking you need what you came for

And nothing can stop you from getting the result

And impose the planned agony

On a soul and a person with a history

Which overshadows the rest of society

Although every man thinks

That his experiences are the worst

So, we are constantly balancing on this scale

Of incompatibility

With eyes shut and ears blocked

No air flowing into our lungs

When someone takes all my air

To fill it with smoke

From their lives

And I have to live avoiding that

Ignorance

Crushing the door of my existence

Every time I need the basics to survive

Like food, shelter, peace of mind

To clear this matter up to you

You would have to know the pain that shattered

My chest in invisible venous shells

Distributing sharp elements to my doomed body parts

This is who I am

Fighting the invisible enemy

Because no one would admit that

I am the reason they crave power

Over me and the whole society

Enforcing their rules

Under which I cannot live

Without destroying my inner

Carefully caressed creation

Balancing it all up

But no one would have thought that
