My Side of the Story

They spread the rumour
It ain’t true 
what they like to think of you
only human 
See their mood
humourous 
see you lose
exuberant 
banter bouncing 
blunt abuse
stand rebound it
legs refuse
their open mouths 
wish you clown
jokes they sound 
keep you down
what goes around
It’s your turn now
Felt their bow bow
cope somehow 
I sink drown
no help about
hold hand out
they slap it five
all an act all a lie
hold my hand now
small piece dies
make out you are nice guy 
backs behind 
laughing louder 
oh to live a life o' lie
insecurities are rife
sly I see in your eyes 
laughter cry
not around now
out of sight
Not around 
out their life
they think my fall 
makes them look tall
but they stand tall
their hand I pulled 
laugh me down 
they are cruel 

I helped you 
when you struggle
strop and crawl
I know your weakness
pain and sore
how you stumble
how you beat it
what cause trouble 
wait repeat
burst your bubble 
I won't seek 
see you leak

I now cope all on my own
world you’re yet to have known
for now you have an ego grown
I’ve the pin to see it blown
for now you feel the bigger man
but bugger damn I know your head
misplaced banter fed me threads 
you love it how I fumble down 
one day luck will turn around 
normally you must resent 
this has been your chance to vent
showing you are not a gent
misery wishing far from decent
descend my friend love to offend
funny how you jump on board 
 “mates”, I think I'll cut the cord

You ruin moods
can’t be accused 
divert attention 
“Look at you”
If it’s me
I’ll leave you be
replace and blame somebody 

if only you could take the blame
accept responsibility
but you cannot it's lame
so long to you and me

screenshots of these words get passed
all I think is kiss my asterisk
you don't know whom I aim specifically
assume and right you must be
