Blackened by hate and beaten blue by lies, I am no longer who I used to be.Take this heart of mine and replace what’s known; Change who I was and make me new again.
Fake Smiles and Fake Friends, Is this all I have?
I look in the mirror and ask again,
“What did I do to make it leave for good…” All of my innocence and purity.
I lived eight years not knowing of its leaving.
I stand alone with those who do not know.
These Friends I knew, with eyes like snakes, and mouths running with these baseless, hurtful rumors…
I just want them gone: “Don’t talk to me please…”
“Leave me alone….There’s nothing left for me…”
