I'Ve Learned

I've learned bad people often wear upon them happy faces, I've learned the darkest depths appear in unlikely places. I've learned not always may they sew what they reap, In fact, its cost me a lot of sleep. I've learned you must take on the role of a lion- while in the midst of sheep; Some secrets you must forever keep. I’ve learned the day is no more- nor no less than you make it. That its suicide if you continue to fake it- And when opportunity arises, its foolish not to take it. I've learned not to sway to their preference- It makes no difference, Truth will be told - And it ends with indifference. And believe me- It was all deliberate. So clearly to me, quite easy to see- your perception of me. Wanting to be the good guy. Guilt you into a big lie- Act as if he's too shy, Or just a 2ply; As if he's the nice guy. But among many who had heard- Because of course, he spread thy word. And now upon thyself is shame, For I now perceived as the master mind of this stupid game, New players but trust me its all the same. Their charm got you in a tough spot- And now left alone to shelter the blame While he still lives out his good name; I swear this worlds insane.

Yes, you seemed to have learned alot in your time here on earth. But let's just hope you don't waist time and know just what it's worth. So many things you have expressed about what's going on. To just end up conceding that it all just feels so wrong. Just reiterating your own thoughts Carly. Not trying to be prophetic or anything. :) Peace. :)
