Treated Defeated

Now he’s stopped 
and not forgetting 
he’s wailing petty 
nonstop and getting 
no help no pity
inside he’s broken 
shutting down 
no means of coping 
no one around
No love shown to him
hell bound
never known loves bliss
cracked perspective 
no care not missed
Doesn’t want to live 
thoughts selective
he’s in a dire life
refusing suicide 
to stay alive 
and cry the cry the cryer cries 
day and night to no reply 
worth belief pride demise 
no point all died
Once a nice selfless guy 
never approved or liked
damaged the nice supply 
as no one took his side 
opposite and sly
think they can boss his mind
why they allow him in their life
blind to realise why
he fulfilled requests act nice 
or that he decides each time
as they think they lead 
and light the way he likes
yet he lets them because 
they need this prize 
competing minds 
needing pride 
while he’s content inside 
and gifts them light 
to keep them high 
by his side then all denied 
nor took his cries seriously 
unkind out to manipulate his mind
but in his pain he’s wise
realise his strength and size 
those who mock and say he lies 
asserting the alpha emerge and rise 
stand big with evil eyes 
a man too demand never warn twice
suddenly they treat him kind
tell a joke but he wants to fight 
his expense too many times 
hostile surprise 
violent type 
pounce and strike
dominate for life 
he will do as he pleases 
Jesus
all you, a friend, 
had to do was believe him

I was shown no empathy no respect no care or belief
no value no worth no confidence just grief
at a time I was targeted bullied slandered too no relief

I am now the guy you treated me
On my side, ha
My friends my family defeated me,
I'm my side
