Life Lessons

Was I your lesson to learn?
Was I just the pretty girl
You had to corrupt? The
Sweet, innocent girl you had
To screw up for you to grow up?
Why was it I was never enough?
I loved you as much as
I knew how to but I could
Never measure up 
To you. Every way I turned,
I was always a failure.
This person you turned
Me into is a shadow of the
Girl you once knew. Now
I’m just damaged goods.
