"Labelled"

I have been labelled

As a useless eater,

Especially by the enabled

Who acts like the Creator.

The stigma of chronic pain

Follows me wherever I go,

But this ball and chain

Helps me to go with the flow.

I pray to God,

To give everyone strength,

And for all to see through the façade,

Which will be brought out at length.

No one escapes Karma,

It’s just a matter of time,

And it’s always through drama,

Which catches the discerning eye.

They will pay for our suffering,

They cannot escape it forever,

They will have to wake from their slumbering,

And finally face their error.
