The fool
I want to write, scream and shout.
But I'm sitting here with this doubt.
I hate you for what you've done.
But I love you for what you've helped me become.
A strong person who won't put her foot down.
My mind keeps replaying how you played me,
how you led me along and put me down.
You say I'm messed up that I was wrong.
I knew what was going on all along.
I sat there by you night after night.
I knew the things you were doing right next to me.
The other stuff outside the home, everything.
I should've seen the emptiness in your eyes.
But like an idiot I kept believing your lies.
I ignored everyone who tried to warn me.
Feeling like a fool can't even look them in the face.
Even the ones you messed with that knew about me laugh at the fact.
You made me look like a joke, belittled and weak.
