Shackled
Tired and angry, people call me crazy. Fake a smile and take it,
when I feel like I can't make it.
Speak up about the problem,
doesn't mean it's gonna solve them. Fake security; "it's gonna be alright, you're gonna be okay."
They'll tell you the same thing every other day.
But I'm tired and angry,
people call me crazy. Are you listening, or glistening in an illusion of humanity? Just another exchange of its gonna be okay.
Shrugged off, dismissed, left aside with clenched fists.
Recede into the distance, silence grows, less resistance.
Watch me struggle, see me down.
Then ask me to help adjust your crown. "Ha! Ha! Ha!" Joker cackles, cause he knows I'm about to break these shackles.

The author encourages honest critique.
People like using others as ladders.
It's like they are waiting for that ladder to break so that they can get the satisfaction in seeing that person suffer.
There's a need for people to find joy in other people's pain.
People lie about everything so it becomes important to know the truth that lives inside of you.
When all those flood gates open full of vicious lies accompanied by the typical vitriol your firm foundation defeats them.
Life is like being a boxer taking all those punches.
The boxers who succeed in the sport learn to block and evade those punches to avoid being hit.
Our lives require us to keep fighting by finding ideas and taking actions to defend and attack our enemies.
We face many battles and they require different strategies for us to be victorious.
Many times in life the biggest battle has been that of self mastery.
The ability to build our mental strength by having an alignment in our physical body and spiritual being.
Thank you for your truth and honesty.
