More!

I want so much more
Than this judgment I've been handed;
I'm worth so much more
Than this grain of salt
With which my life has become equated.

I can not bear to be told
That all who I am, and seek to become,
Amounts to the nil
You've seen fit to define:
I scorn your indifference and lack of concern.

Unbeknownst to you, 
The strives I have made and the battles I have won
Deep within my past, 
Prove you wrong.
You have rendered me incompetent and unsung.

So be it! 
I will rise to the pinnacle,
That by then I will already have won,
To see you beneath me,
Awed by what I have become.
