Life's not fair

Stop telling me that
‘Life’s not fair’ 
As if I didn’t know
I learned that lesson 
years ago
I have the scars to show

When you tell me
‘Life’s not fair’
I simply turn to stone
Your words will bounce off
Endlessly, while
My walls are resecured

‘Life’s not fair’ 
can go to hell
As far as I’m concerned
Because this mantra
You feel I earned
Just cracks me that much more

    Of the pain my body makes
    And I will not be offended
    If there’s not a part of you that aches
