and working hard
as an unpaid miner
just so i could –
perfect the art –
of digging deep

as if,
someone has evaporated the load
and stopped my shoulders
becoming over bowed

people have been taught –
to blame others
and they been good pupils
eager with their homework

they have taken
damaging lies
and turned them –
into monuments
for the truly divided –
to praise

you are right
i knew it was coming
but…
it does not make it any easier

i am not resistant
but i was made to be stubborn
when others decided
i would easily give up

what was she thinking?
me,
being asked to do something
that they took away from me
