Twisted fate or cruel reality?

(( we had a assignment in our literature class to write an epitaph so i tried my best ! ))

If you ask, many would say
we live in a cruel twisted reality
i tried to prove them wrong each day
but this led to my tragic fatality

i tried to do everything they said to
i got the anticipated grades
my dreams, i attempted to pursue
but i reckon in time the crusade must fade

like a plant yearns and seeks for sunlight
i chased everything i was deceived to believe enabled success
i was foolish to think my future was bright
to some people, life is just a game of chess

he observed my every move
studied me like a book from afar
i do not know what he was trying to prove
was his intent to just leave a scar?

he fiddled with my mind and heart
played out each move to its fullest potential
i knew something was sketchy from the start
he knew each word he spoke was essential

i was violated, just as laws are shattered
my boundaries were disregarded
my heart was a shirt, tattered
the castle no longer guarded

i condemned him to a brutal anguish
his stomach jumped and flipped
as he fell into a prolonging languish
his mind he could feel starting to slip

he got a insignificant taste
of the agony he put me through
the defining silence, he had to face
compared to my pain, he had no clue

he was liberated from the torment
free as a bird is to fly
craving revenge for each moment spent
all his tactics he began to apply

hunted me down as he would a dear
never gave me a chance to plead
one thing he did make clear
to my last gasping breath, i would bleed

i was not granted the dying breaths to mutter
"i forgive you for the torture you put me through
and after just throwing me in the gutter"
after these dying thoughts, to heaven i flew
