Who Am I

Who am I

I'm the one you tease
Cause I'm different.
I'm the one you bother
Cause I'm just there.
I'm the the mat you step on
I'm the rock you kick around
And you think you can control me
Like I'm the clay and you're the sculptor
Like I'm the robot and you press my buttons
But you can't control me
I may be nothing as you say
But your words son't mean jack to me
I am somebody
Sooner or later you'll see me on the street
With my head up high
While you're eating my dust
And I'll be wondering
Who's laughing now!

A well exspressed write. I have been there myself and I can tell you that no amount of success will stop the hurt they put on you. The only way to stop it is to forgive it. The longer you hold on to that hurt the harder it will be to let go.
