Deserve

Who the hell is he to tell me I don't deserve my kids That they should be with him simply because they're his Well they certainly don't deserve this Someone who only has them for his own selfish needs and wants Do this, do that, he barks and what not In his delusional mind, he's never done anything wrong The day will come when he will fall because they will overcome him and be strong I'll see to it, as I from a distance observe Cause then he will finally get what he truly deserves Who the hell is she to say to me that I don't deserve the man I love Just because she's the one whose there with him don't mean she's the one he dreams of What does she think they're a match made from the heavens above? This coming from someone who needed, from him before, her space He's the only man I long to embrace While she ran and it was him, she couldn't face Because she claimed, she had to find her footing, and slow down the pace However, she played him for second best; she didn't ever really want him Yeah that's right, what she was doing was hoping to get back the guy she really wanted The guy she had been captivated by, leaving her feeling, without that guy, daunted She took and waved that guy in his face, yeah she flaunted Yet I'm the one, by the memory of the man I love, left here being haunted Damn it, I'm the one who’s taunted Brought down to my knees Needing so much to be held by him endlessly However, I hold on to our moments and keep them well preserved Cause I know he and I being together is what we both deserve Who are you to whisper inside a scream That I don't deserve to dream Even if it may end up hurting me Don't try putting in my head what I should or shouldn't believe I'm allowed to see what I want to see And be who I want and choose to be I can and will do this on my own Yet in this endeavor, I'm not alone I have friends and family that love me no matter what Yep without a doubt, or how deep the hole or rut They're right there holding out their hand Not like some people before in my past that would bury their heads in the sand No longer do I have to be the one whose picked on or called names No more do I have to be called last to play any of their silly games Never again will I let anyone control me that I lose the person I became No way will I ever again give my love, heart, or soul away in vain Nope I won't be her not that shy girl who sat there so timid and reserved Cause that's not at all what I deserve
