We all Deserve a lot better

By Jennanselmo

I am embarrassed to admit that I was manipulated like a drone
Brain washed and baptized in the ocean of the unknown
I drank the elixir, never asked for its name
I was so desperate for changes; I just wanted to be the same
I never relied on anyone and I was alright
But when I am in your presence the wrongs all seem right
I am ashamed of myself for letting you put that guilt over me
I felt so hollow that day after you broke me
There was a hole inside that I wanted you to fill
But I see now that you are empty so just take another pill
Take another hit, wash away the pain
Make yourself feel better, let the water go down the drain
Isolate yourself from the ones that will bring you down
Just because you are lost doesn’t mean you will be found
Sometimes in life we have to help the hand of time
Encourage a favorable outcome by separating your life from mine
You are a snake of temptation, a demon in modern day attire
How does it feel to be called out as a liar?
Are you embarrassed yourself, are you losing your touch?
Where were you when i needed you; I needed you so much
But instead of caring, you chose to play the field
And I guess that’s fine because I will never chose to kneel 
I will never let another person define me again
I won’t allow my past to limit me from finding someone genuine
I deserve a lot better; I hear it all the time
So maybe I should listen and fight for what is mine
No longer sitting in the darkness I will declare your defeat
Because this time was the last time that we will ever again meet

    The fall and the rise. Learn to love your pyre, because fire destructs and constructs. I went through a similar situation and believe me, despite the first terrible months of despair, you'll come to understand that you can walk the world alone and that life is beautiful once you decide what to do with it.
