Struggle for Self

black separator bar
just five years old
when the words rang out
stay out of my way
you're not needed here

the words went on
ringing out more loudly
you really are stupid
you never listen

fighting for self
lack of confidence
you have no talent
you always mess up

looking back now
sifting through the lies
no one to support
no one to listen
