it was hard trying to find peace
that's when I got on my knees
I laid my heart out piece by piece
it did not come with ease;
all the toxic people had to cease
I never got an apology
didn't expect it honestly.
just worked on myself, constantly
wishing the ones who left
the best, and
I meant that, solidly!
I was broken.
my heart, cut open
all the lies being spoken
had to take the notion
to feel the emotions
and try to take back what was stolen.
first step, self reflection
I started paying attention
I had to stop projecting
and finally start addressing
Did some confessing, made some progression
as I started taking suggestions
I still have questions, but I learned valuable lessons
people learn about you, so they can use it as weapons.
I prayed everyday
that on my heart he would lay
every person that had betrayed
it's hard to tell them apart these days
when even the friendly ones are fake
had to get rid of the hate and
have a little faith, so I disappeared
I just needed a break
I started practicing forgiveness
really got down to business
though it was hard to witness
I watched my people turned vicious
People being untrue, was something I got use to
I held on to the hurt and suffer
shoved it undercover
friends being with lovers
so I tossed them in the dumpster
Life has proven to be tough
but I learned that
I am tougher
