Response

Die in your own room 
At your own hands 
For your selfish cause 
No one understands 
What you've become 
Can't live under rules and laws 
The pain you must numb 
That comes with failure and flaws 
Another year older 
A man with child size balls 
Who doesn't learn fear 
Turns pebbles to boulders 
From road to cliff it steers 
Over your shoulder 
Making sure that you fall.

A potentially deadly path -- a tough love. Well presented in your poem -- addition is a nasty evil.

"Addition is a nasty evil" I like that. "To be equal you must add subtract multiply or divide and I have always hated math."
