Suffering the Same
Sad and needy attention seekers
act with sleaze, attacking me,
while I'm failed by the power that be,
aware of suffering everyone can see,
a system implemented subjectively,
has understood the sad and needy,
won't be punished nor will it free me,
overlooking their rule breaking,
expecting me to stand taking,
suffering suffered that shouldn't be,
to behaviour unfair, who's helping me,
until I'm cornered and worn mentally
a treatment allowed illegally,
when I react, I'm the problem,
attention seekers victims then,
they seek and seek the sympathy,
repeat repeat and suffer weak,
hit so deep they attention seek,
for long enough get helped to feet,
attention, time and get their need,
NOT THE WAY BEHAVED BY ME,
I DIDN'T CRY AND ACT SO WEAK,
THEY GOT ME THEN ATTENTION SEEK,
now I am the problem, and in defeat
so I lose out as all point at me.
Suffered behaviour I wouldn't behave,
the system didn't stop it, I wasn't saved,
the suffering continued more each day,
they were never punished as I slowly caved,
forcing my hand, it was the only way,
they are the victim, the price I must pay.
Attention seekers behave ways I would not,
and they are saved when they seek,
all my suffering forgot, I lose to the weak,
life is this game, I see it on repeat.
The weak get sympathy, and I get defeat.
