Perspective Inspection 911
Karyn Indursky 12/10/08

Biased by flaw detection
you fail to see a quest
led to triumph misery
instead of constantly being
bulldozed by your every depiction
of you think is a flaw
when in reality
it's a figment of what you want to see
because you can't handle
my positive qualities
blinding your sparkling eyes of mischief
taking immense pleasure
from attempting to tarnish
my self-esteem, respect, confidence,
but I'll be condemned
for I won't go down
without a fight
because I'm not a victim
willing to tolerate
your verbal lashings
day in, day out,
but a survivor
of life's adaptations
when God's in my heart
and listening to my prayers
not to be shackled
for undeserved ridicules
when all you have to do
is remove your sunglasses
to see my positive qualities.
