When I decided to fend for myself,
I became selfish.
When I tried to defend myself,
I became unacceptable.
When I tried to fight back,
I became unworthy.
When I chose to stay silent,
I became a coward.
When I tried to show my confidence,
I already lost the race.
When I tried to hold things together,
I already lost the war.
When I chose to express my thoughts,
I became laughter.
And when I tried to find myself,
I was already dead.
