Free Cee Why Must I Be Betrayed By the People I Respect the Most

Why must I be betrayed by people I respect the most Everything in my life has become a contradiction All I hear now are cowards who are quick to boast And any respect I had for these people turned out to be pure fiction Why must the people I consider friends treat me with enmity When they should be eager to concede to a simple request Why to people I consider allies all seem not to care then I deem them the enemy And answer to the demonic voice of the devil’s behest I have no place to hide as I used to in crowded bars I have no place to run from people who sold themselves out for a few sheckles more or less I am left with a wounded lamb and a body marred by bloody scars And only sorrow for cowards that this burdened man is left to confess I used to have a grand design which demanded I fulfill I used to have hope and a way to ignore selfish folk I used to have the means, way and will but now i'm left destitute, depressed and broke © 2012.....PHREEPOETREE ~free cee!~
