A War On Two Fronts

Looking back now it was me against the world 
no one In my corner no one in my field 
too much too fast and I stood still
helpless to slaughter without a shield
 it was me and the elements alone in developments 
and I stood firm though trampled by elephants 
and though missed then I now assess evidence 
verify my friends and verify the blunts 
who was on my side and who sucker punched 
and I’m left gutted horrified and stunned 
cus I’ve got nothing left all was dumped 
out numbered one way out numbered two 
no one to turn too what did I do 
I didn’t break down 
til the breakdowns removed 
mentally shattered emotionally reaching 
I had not mattered though I was weeping 
my friends weren’t friends and it’s a scary thought 
two faced too show it the reason or fault 
as I was targeted without respect 
no one caring who would detect 
Dom was saying I stole his bike 
an insight reveals inside his mind 
he was nasty I was kind 
mind overrun therefore blind 
all my effort went into work 
an eye on Sarah with all her nerve 
foresee her thirsty plans to hurt 
a game that I played carefully 
aware there’s no one there for me 
one sided plots unfairly 
bettering yet wearing me 
so work was hard work 
but I held the Earth 
Sarah shooting air as i swerved 
didn’t think I had to watch my mates 
and couldn’t battle on two fronts 
so work was where I did concentrate 
I realise now who I should have thumped 
that boy was just two faced
On the day I left that job he said I did it for attention 
I went through hell and got the sack and no one payed attention
I swear that boy’s bipolar, 
paranoia in the rest as they’re slower 
It’s over mate nice to know ya
