Value of a Life
He has a life.
He has a life where he gets what he wants.
He gets the grades;
He gets the roles.
He gets everything handed to him.
Because he is a perfect liar.
He tricks the audience.
He manipulates words
To get what he wants.
He gets to live his life.
I lost my life.
I have become dead inside.
I am afraid to live my life.
What he did to me,
Left me broken and tainted.
He has burned me to ashes.
And I am left to put myself back together.
The one who loved me, betrayed me.
I am silenced by the suffering.
I suffer while he lives.
