Alright

Alright Alright, enough already!! I’ve taken all I can Of these missiles of misfortune Aimed at me by man, You’ve targeted my health, my wealth, My family and my friends. Methodically destroying Everything you can. Poisoning my lowly life One bombshell at a time. Stripping me of all support, No matter how unkind. I don’t deserve this hounding, To live each day in fear, To dread that what tomorrow I may well have to hear. Surely after all this time I must have earned a break, A chance that from this nightmare I finally may wake. If all of this has been a test, I really hope I’ve passed! I can’t take much more pounding, My sanity won’t last! I creep into my happy place And shut the world out tight. Withdrawing from society And hiding, out of sight. Gathering each scrap of strength To get me back on track; Then enable me to function And not react, just ACT!!!

Very true, direct, and brave. I think this captures quite a shared feeling.
