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.
