wrong end of the karma

the sadness is visible in my eyes
and the tears on my cheeks,
why am i made to hold
all this bitterness for weeks?

why was i suffering the karma,
weeks to months to years,
karma that should've been for them,
was shipped to the wrong address, i fear,

it should've been them,
it shouldn't be me,
why am i suffering the karmic consequences
of the bad things done to me?

why were they living the life,
looking all so happy,
while i burn myself out to ashes
just wanting to end it?
