-what I learned when my dearest friends betrayed me
You think people are good,
just
like
you.
You think they have
goodness in their hearts,
just
like
you.
You think they'll stick around,
just like how
you would
stick around in theirs.
But you were wrong.
Not everyone has pureness in their hearts
like
you.
Not everyone has goodness in their souls
like
you.
Not everyone is radiating with positivity
like
you.
This world is a wicked,
c r u e l,
c r u e l
place,
and you ought to know that by now.
After being thrown into the dirt,
o v e r
&
o v e r
you think you'd get that
into your thick skull
by now,
but no.
A tiny ounce of your soul
s t i l l wants
to give people chances,
it s t i l l wants
to let people in your life.
Regardless of
the number of people
that left your side,
you still want to
give people
your e v e r y t h i n g.
Regardless of
the times they
left you with
n o t h i n g,
but a bleeding heart.
You still won't
give up on people,
no matter how much
they gave up on you.
Little girl,
you know how cruel the world can be.
Why do you
keep letting it break you?
Why do you
keep letting people in
when you know
they'll only
leave in the end?
Why do you
keep giving people chances
when you know
you'll only end
up disappointed?
Why do you keep trying, when everyone gave up on you a long time ago?
