A Tale of Strength and Resilience

They don't hear,

And they cannot see,

I'm sitting here,

Taking all the shit,

Only to get sick,

They won't care,

I'm fighting,

Fighting for respect,

But it's no use,

They laugh,

Think I'm stupid,

Being petty,

Want chaos,

Seeking attention,

In reality,

They are the one,

Because I have won,

And I laugh at you now,

Who is the one,

That is pissed now?

I think that is you,

No longer will,

You ever get me,

In your grasp,

Life is about,

Spending time,

With those you love,

And I thank my friends,

For they are the ones,

Who stand up to me,

In these dire times,

You spend your time,

Hating on me,

For that I will say,

I hope you get karma.
