F*ck it all

Fuck it all!

I am afflicted, not disabled, difrently abled yet labled,
My experience leaving naught but disdain, 
For what constitutes the contingents of love and respect, 
Not of mine, Don't you dare think I'm the same,

Don't dare to be different, just stay in your lane,
And do as you're told all along,
The authorities know best, don't dare to contest,
We'll beat you till you say you're wrong,

What I'm getting at here is what's with the jeer,
And the cheers and laughter and song,
Surrounding the treatment of those who are different, 
Fuck your idles and rulers and god,

So I'm not like you, that much we've made clear,
Though who's to say which one's right and who's wrong,
Just let me live life less your bullshit and leers,
Ask yourself which of us hurts no one.

Your command of language and structure is on great display here. I'm not sure if the rhyming scheme was on purpose, or if it's purposeful to make us wonder if it is. Either way well done! the piece flows nicely and has a very pointed and punchy meter, which fits well with the message. My only concerns is that the last line feels a little flat, and I apologize for not having a suggestion. I would also reconsider the title. It's a bit misleading and doesn't fit the message and amotion of the piece. Again, sorry I don't have any suggestions for that either.

Well the thing is that I want the rhyming to be consistent.

What I'm getting at here is what's with the jeer,
And the cheers and laughter and song,
Surrounding the treatment of those who are different, 
Fuck your idles and rulers and gong

So I'm not like you, that much we've made clear,
Though who's to say which one's right and who's strong,  (to avoid repetition)
Just let me live life less your bullshit and leers,
Ask yourself which of us hurts and who's long.
