Scapegoat

Do you have what it takes?
Fast forward 
 hit the breaks
Life retaliates-
And I can’t hear you
I’ve raised the stakes.
You’re losing,
abusing the guidelines
Trying to read the fine lines-
That are already erased.
My reality is faced-
With demons trying to bring me down
 I can feel myself drown
In and out of breath
Your words they hit me
And clog my throat-
It’s such a pity
I’m the scapegoat
