I am more than a toy
built up only to be destroyed
for your amusement.
I earned the right to live
outside a world condensed
into a single room where
everyone judges me standing
accused, not knowing
it was you all along
orchestrating outcomes
falsely appearing as my fault.
It's not a simple thing
restoring integrity,
nor is it easy to give someone
back their reputation
after it's been taken,
which leaves me to wonder,
where I go to restore
my good name.
