No Matter

Speak words toward me
Of hatered and disdain
Curse my existence
And resent my name
Find all my flaws
And commence to complain
Kill my shine
And show me the shadow of my shame
Give me the weight of the world
To hold me down
Make every expression
That i face around me a frown
Give me the lost,the twisted,the dirty
The lame and unfound
Nurture my needs
With the smut and grit of the ground
Kick me, hit me
Push me, shove me,
And kill me, then watch me live on
In the people who love me
Force me to face all that disgusts me
Demean me and put all else above me
Take my welth
Strip me down to my last token
Brnad me with every harsh word spoken
Drown me in desparity
And laugh when I'm choking
On depression and oppression
For in the end
When it's all said and done
No matter how dismal and dejected
I may be percived to be
In reality I have reached Satori
And nothing can stop me
Not many have been where I've gone
Fewer have survived the test
Most with their egocentric small minds
Take what they are given
And to hell with the rest

    Powerful words you have woven into a flowing retreat. You are correct, few find what you speak of in this write. Another note on that cord is that even fewer learn from the experiences and blossum into the rarest flowers. Problem solved, no onward to face the many facets of life that lay before one. Thank you for sharing this beautiful write, take care.
