All That's Left To Do

I needed you to be on my side  
In a world so harshly scorn  
I'm tired of putting up this fight- 
Alone-with no end in sight 
This ones not even about my pride  
It's about the fact that I tried with every 
fiber of my being-to abide-to the standard 
they supplied  
So that maybe my inner loneliness would 
subside.  

Now all that's left to do  
Is accept that I can't count on you; 
Pick the gloves back up and fight  
For myself, because I know it's right.
