You destroyed me.

You destroyed me.
You destroyed my home.
You destroyed my family, too.
You completely changed my nature.
You never asked me for permission.

You knew I would shout no.
You saw life as a competition.
But, still I shout my suffering.

You made me a destroyer.
You thought I was an easy target.
You made me complicit in your madness.
You forced me to relive what you did to me every day.
You never even thought to give my feelings a thought.

You knew I would shout no.
You saw life as a competition.
But, still I shout my suffering.

You were finished with me.
And then you, you abandoned me.
You left me stranded alone in the desert.
You always had one wheel to the North, one to the South.
You never saw the pain you caused and the pain you felt.

You knew I would shout no.
You saw life as a competition.
But, still I shout my suffering.

You, who do you think you are?
