I was wrong, I was wrong for letting you into my world, I was wrong to think you needed the opportunity, Not caring so much about how my decision will impact me, But that is just me, my heart goes before my head.
I was dead wrong, Wrong for teaching you all that I know, I shared my experiences with you hoping you could learn from them, But no, you’d rather walk in the fire too, I put you high on a pedestal, I felt I could boost your self esteem. Apparently, I was a joke to you.
I know I have flaws, I knew that someday I may wrong you, Which is why I gave you a heads up. I said to you, if I ever offend you just let me know. You rejected my open invitation, You’d rather talk behind my back than talk to me.
Not all heroes wear capes, Sometimes I forget I am human too, My weakness is my very strength, I felt you needed a saviour, So I sacrificed my needs for yours, Yeah! Little did you know that I too needed saving. Yet, you sold me out to the wolves. You enjoyed it as they tore me apart. You played the victim card well.
Like a cat with nine lives, Like a chameleon, I come back, I adjust, I adapt, I conquer, I rise.
