Bottom barrel - guess that’s your name.
All ‘cause you refuse to play in their game.
Revenge getting old - it’s quite lame.
Can’t hold your head high with that shame.
A demon - you came here to tame.
At times - you are one in the same.
Glutton - for a kiss of false fame.
Seeing that it’s you who’s to blame.
Faulted - guess that’s your middle name.
A fool - for refusing the game.
Sitting in the corner feeling lame.
Poor you - oh no - what a shame.
Seeing the beast you came here to tame.
At times you are one in the same.
Forgetting a quick claim to fame.
A pity - yourself you still blame.
One day - you will remember your name.
A You - that can win at their game.
Reality - the shit has been lame.
Just walk away there is no shame.
The beast - wasn’t too hard to tame.
Seeing you and the beast are the same.
Struggles - feed into the fame.
Misguided - minds are to blame.

Very nice!! We do it to ourselves!!! "Poor you - oh no - what a shame" my favorite line! I love the tone!!! Totally enjoyed it!!
We do! And the quicker we realize that, the easier life gets!
Thank you!!
let that rage, fuel your ink
dear Poet
tattoo you will, upon their ignorant
awareness
roar proud, let them remember
the feel
of an honest heart's unflinching passion..
stay strong! write bold
and find a path, to where that is enough
Thank you!! Makes me think of the poem or quote by Nikita Gill 'Remember What You Must Do'
I appreciate your kind words and motivation!
'and you remind them
what hell looks like
when it wears the skin
of a gentle human.”
(am gonna look up more of her work
thank you! kind Poet)
