I face the corner
tossed away, back handed slap
I do not fit in.
* * * * * *
You, lie, back- stabber
try to steal my character,
Dishonest people.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
The scraps of my soul
Now discarded in gray ash
Shows me who YOU are.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Breathe, stay in Goodness
Don’t be influenced by them
Let your own heart rule.
Scraps of soul can be recycled, can they not?

I particularly like the way you’ve used the concept of scrap in several of the haiku without using the actual word. Goooooooooooooood!
