Construction Of Destruction
If in all of your existence you're told you're one thing
You'll grow into acceptance and won't enter the ring
They've pinged your address but didn't tell you it was spoofed
Infested your mind with malware and buried the truth
Making you ride in the caboose right next to self-worth
Self-esteem leaning towards self doubt growing in girth
Leading to trails and routes that weren't even on your map
The grueling tolls on that track causing your brakes to snap
Full steamed into the trap designed for self destruction
Derailed from destiny into what's their construction
Institution of lies enveloping your mental
Implanted conception that you are something evil
Definitions shovel that you're an iniquity
Perception is that you're an outcast of society
An off the wagon sobriety in drunkenness
Twelve steps nor twelve reps yield the distress
You'll grow into acceptance and won't enter the ring
They've pinged your address but didn't tell you it was spoofed
Infested your mind with malware and buried the truth
Making you ride in the caboose right next to self-worth
Self-esteem leaning towards self doubt growing in girth
Leading to trails and routes that weren't even on your map
The grueling tolls on that track causing your brakes to snap
Full steamed into the trap designed for self destruction
Derailed from destiny into what's their construction
Institution of lies enveloping your mental
Implanted conception that you are something evil
Definitions shovel that you're an iniquity
Perception is that you're an outcast of society
An off the wagon sobriety in drunkenness
Twelve steps nor twelve reps yield the distress

Like a sinister version of that Bible verse about training a child up in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it
Need more of Frederick Douglass "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men"
Spot on once again, Sir Damon

Your writing is timely in a profoundly relevant & deeply profound way.
I like how you consolidate all of your experiences in the modern world, and infuse them into historical and age old frequencies to get something that is both old and new. I think this is a true representation of progress, something that I believe is an important element of poetry...
