CALAMITY

I didn't compare 
Neither did I compete 
I'm always in my lane
Yet they're always against me
Steadily plotting my ruin
Just to humiliate and rule over me.

Steadily, they attack 
My self confidence 
Trying to tame or break me
Steadily them be bullying 
Giving me all sort of names
Trying to shame me
They ain't my maker
So I'm unshakeable and unbreakable.

My mistakes
Their empowerment 
They all act like they're perfect 
Steadily discriminating me
Causing calamity in our country 
Ruining our unity 
Forgetting United we stand
They mislive and misaligned 
Just for instant gratification and selfish goals.
