Lies

Why do people let others walk
all over them?
To let them take advantage of
you, and you not say anything.
To let them take from you, and 
you do nothing.
Thought you were smarter than 
that, but I guess I was wrong.
See you just let them keep 
coming back, to do it again.
Why are people so dumb, but
want us to think they are so smart?
It's time to open your eyes,
and stop them from hurting you.
But when it comes to her, you 
are blind.
She tells you lies, and you 
believe her.
I tell you the truth, and you
don't hear me.
