Infinite Succession, An Exercise In Futility

Don't be surprised if I forget your name
It's nothing personal, you understand?! I just don't play these games 
It's not for pride or because I'm reluctantly shamed
It's because I moved on the day's fruit was my aim
I know that I promised to be this or do that
But those promises were lies, a fortress quelled by facts
I know that you loved me and that word's lost it's meaning 
But you have to forgive and let time begin healing 
My pride stepped in front not allowing conceding 
Insert foot into mouth, how bout now are you seeing?!
It's just your prerogative telling all of your woes 
Cowardly kinder as your weapon tale concoction seep flows
Now I became scapegoat for your truth and the lie
Ignorant, veinly feigning false pretense of you, oh my
I sit now and think "is this more time that I waste?" 
"Should I be somewhere else breaking bread? Making haste?"
Just another conjunction of illusion regressed
 If this is conclusion then there's no resolve, a test... 
We just live confused, convoluted, unresolved and depressed....

Just FYI these are introspective pieces. A reflection of myself as I see it. Truthfully I'm a very happy fun-loving person. Just had a few too many unfortunate occurrences that could have been avoided in hindsight viscerally speaking but life is about redemption and prevailing from life's adversities. So I just cherish my good days and take the bad ones with a grain of salt. Learn everyday. That's how we grow and that's how we thrive through the act of repentance and virtuous conviction. Cheers!
