Manipulation of Guilt

I was detached from myself, You judged me with your wild assumptions, You ridiculed me without reason, I was misunderstood and mistaken, You made me feel guilty all the time with false accusations, You tried to manipulate me to convince myself I did something wrong, But I didn't, I was bounded by principles that kept me from exploding , I was sworn to silence by obligation and gratitude, It wasn't my world and place to fight my own battle, I was on dangerous territory, I had to surrender my emotions to myself , I had to adapt and suppress my burdens to my core.
