All the things you lost because of what you’ve done
all you could have had and now you’re left with none
time and time again offered everything you dreamed
only to find that you were nothing that you seemed
Could have had it all but lost everything with your lies
cannot get it back no matter how many tries
forever lost all that you worked for so long
now you’re at the bottom where you truly belong
All of it could have been yours if only you were true
success unlike anything you knew
just waiting there for you to take
and all that you have lost with just the one mistake
Now you are so much less than you could have been
and nothing that you wanted will ever come again
lost it all no one’s fault but your own it’s true
no one else to blame for there is only you

Well penned. It so resonated. It made me cringe a bit as I saw myself reflected in its truth.

Thank you for reading and commenting….some things are harder to see in print, but everything can be used as a point for growth beyond….as I see myself in it also.
