Changed Me Forever

They let me down 
now put me down
harsh views of me all around town
no one has seen me or heard a sound 

I fell down in a pit of trouble 
wasn’t offered a hand or a cuddle
snowballing mind evermore muddled
an additional “you lie” ball to juggle
 
In my struggle they say I’m pathetic
no one looks and no one gets it 
brainwashed sure fake’s projected 
you took my life and chose to wreck it 

Believe a false reputation to justify
treating a guy a joke and sly 
Clown to laugh at because he lies
open up your stupid eyes

I conclude you don’t even care
I helped you and I was there 
now I act unkind unfair
you think it’s come out of no where

Think I was denied attention and now seek more
when did I want attention before? 
Fighting a battle you give me a war 
and I’m being eaten away at the core

Was a people person kind and thoughtful
then people treated me unkind and awful 
an act for an act and the acts reward
answering how you answer my call

since you’ve seen the new me
not the guy labelled comically 
which you helped kill setting free
this guy living life selfishly

Now like you yet can be the old me too
but I'll never be him when I'm around you
you cared so little and haven't a clue
why I am now so hostile and rude
