Unknown

Cornered in rage
From betrayals that follow
In me not made
Not even my own shadow
Why
Chasing an entity to the edge
Aggravated yet no cry
Kindness taken for weakness
Screams inside
Yet words aren't spoken
Loneliness by my side
A companionship not chosen
Admitting to an unknown strength
Gratefully gained
Positively looking past the end
Not ashamed
Slowly rising
Embraces each difficulty
For its only sizing
The mentality and personality
Freedom from the pain
The shame
The same game 
Played 
By ones trusted and loved 
Consideration is ghost
None
Its what hurts most
Yet a patience has begun
Accepting challenges i face
Wisdom is the only outcome
Forgiving mistakes 
And understand who's to become

The fact that our kindness has severally been taken for granted must not stop us from being kind to others. Patience in suffering is the yellow in the egg. Kudos! 7+
