for things that others do

i feel i am a scapegoat
for people such as you

i do my work, i try my best
but still you abuse me

verbally, emotionally
why cant i just be free?

if you have a problem with others
take it out on them

dont let me be the one
you constantly condemn

you're hurting me
why cant you see

the pain you're causing
why cant i just be me?

why wont you leave me be
why wont you understand

im not your scapegoat any more
answers i do demand

if this wont stop, this blame
this shame, this outright travesty

ill be forced to take my life
for you, your majesty [comments] => 3 [counter] => 145 [topic] => 65 [informant] => superash16 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => toughstuff )

I hope that this a fictional tome. If it is, you're on your way to some really exceptional poetry. If it is indeed factual, would you please contact me (someone, anyone) before you consider denying the world the beauty of your light. I really felt the spiteful controlling and the tearful disappointment that it always brings. I truly hope that this is just a great example of imagination.
