Was blissful ‘fore I met you;
Now, I look at life with eyes anew,
……… At another perspective.
Have no care for my appearance,
You crushed my self-confidence,
Approach in life turned negative.

Wrecked by an unknown malady,
Agonized are my mind and body.
There isn’t a correct diagnosis,
To pinpoint the ailment.
Inside I know, ‘tis caused by men,
--- Should’ve had this prognosis.

Though I’ve gone haywire,
Neither am I a liar
…….. Nor insane.
I have aches everywhere,
Yet, people hound me anywhere,
All for their own gain.
