Observation of lies
I recognize when you rile me up
I know it was getting the best of me
I see those energies constantly over me
I used to be broken into pieces
These games you played were intimidating
I let my power diminish to nothing
I let it all slide like a damn fool
And every time I lost my cool
You see, I'm so tired of the back-and-forth
I'm going to make my way back home
It's a long road, but I'm not alone
Today, I'm pushing my ego aside.
There is not even a consideration.
My toxic shame was the blame.
Out in public, we were like perfect.
But behind closed doors, it was never the same.
Your actions were very deadly
My harsh reactions found it tempting.
The yelling and fighting were so foolish
It played on my mind and drove me insane.
These games you played were intimidating.
You suck all of my vitality.
I let it slide to please you.
Who was the walking fool?
I would show protest behavior
Thinking you show me behavior
It only drove to avoid me.
You were an attachment that took hold of me.
You see, I'm so tired of the back-and-forth
I'm going to make my way back home.
It's a long road, but I'm not alone.
Today, I'm pushing my ego aside.
Ooo, there are changes in my spirit
I awoke, and now I'm observing
Ooo, these pains are self-inflicted
I didn't think I was so deserving
Ooo, I was walking in the darkness
You see, I'm so tired of the back and forth.
I'm going to make my way back home
It's a long road, but I'm not alone
My life was broken, full of lies.
The observation of lies is breathtakingly painful to see, but there is hope that you can still acknowledge and accept with an understanding that helps to heal such vicious circles you manifested in your world. Everything in life is to help us grow and challenge limiting beliefs held with strong convictions.
Take Care ?? ??
