Under A Thumb

by ANM - Pisces

I am more perplexed than ever these days!
Years supposed to bring wisdom, just more and more haze--
All the struggles, the "strength" that came "miraculously"
Were burnt down and crushed down "narcissistically"
But not by ME!
I swear by the stuff of a God or a soul
That what has "ruined" me has not been my own toll
But the people who found me a target "too easy"
Took my empathy, sympathy, and saw it too "breezy"
Seriously?  ME?
Being "chased" so to speak, by those that were weak
While I was busting my ass to be someone to speak
Of not knowing the price I would pay by these men
Who'd chase me,then HATE me because I didn't like them!
Why ME?
As the efforts to "keep me" in "convenient control"
Spouting often their anger, reaffirming their "role"
I am now NOTHING I used to be!
Still wondering why it happened to me.

    Shit, stuff, life, love, time, people...and pizza! :)
