Ode to Broken Promises
You promised me when I was younger
That I could change the world single handedly
That the world would welcome me with open arms
Instead of oppression and racial slurs
The Ode to Broken Promises
As I got older you promised you would believe in me
Yet rejected all of my own decisions
Thinking I was to naive to understand
That this was the Ode to Broken Promises
You promised me you would trust me
But you never defended me
As they said I was seeking for
attention
When I told you I said no but they didn't care
The Ode to broken promises is bright and clear
Your promises were the bond that kept us together
But your actions said otherwise
Plunging a knife deep into my soul
Wishing you could mend my broken trust with your faulty bandages
The Ode to Broken Promises
You promised me time would heal everything
Along with your meaningless apologies
But just like alcohol your nevers and forevers stung my mind
And imprinted on my memories
The Ode to Broken Promises
You promised me you would love me unconditionally
That I could accomplish anything I put my mind to
That I would grow in my beliefs
That I should be the best and settle for nothing less
You promised me you would be by my side
The Ode to Broken Promises
You promised me that eventually the pain will slip away
That I'd be okay without you
But it's been a few years
And I'm not okay
The Ode to Broken Promises is real
