Shame On You, Shame On Me

Shame on you for treating me like dirt,

And for trying to get me to feel hurt.

I am starting to see how miserable you are,

And that you want me to feel the pain of your scars.

You have had every opportunity to find a way to make it work,

And I should have been able to see right through your petty little smirk.

In the end, you didn’t want to see win,

Because you are stuck in the way that things have always been.

All you want to do is to try and bring me down,

Because you are pissed off that I have always been able to pick myself up off of the ground.

Unlike you, I don’t give anyone that kind of power or control,

Because I don’t feel the need to drag down others to try and heal my soul.

You are such a broken individual, and it is really sad to see,

That you are taking all of your anger and depression out on little old me.

The one who always stood strong at your side,

The one who was there for you when everyone else just went away to hide.

Shame on me for thinking that you weren’t the same,

But I know that I am really the only one to blame.

Deep down, I knew I shouldn't have trusted you,

But you did exactly what you said you would never do.

Shame on me for thinking that there was trust,

Because thinking that I had a friend in you is what ended up being a bust. 

I do need to thank you for allowing me to remember why I started,

And to not allow people who don’t care to leave me feeling broken hearted.

People like you are no longer going to take up my time,

Because finding a heart like mine is something that is difficult to find.

The evil in others is not going to cause me to change,

And finally I can say it without feeling strange.

I am no longer going to shy away from being who I truly am,

I hit my breaking point, and I no longer give a damn.
