Cruel Intentions

People say bad things happen for a reason and it is destiny.
But how can I be so sure when bad things always happen to me.
Is it destiny or the way I'm supposed to live?
Cruel Intentions? Is it the reason I have nothing left to give.
Cruel intentions are what it seems to be.
The curse of being a target of cruel intentions floats over and follows me.
I think that people want to hurt me
they've hurt the ones that I love, they've hurt my family.
My family judge, splitting us up he didn't give a second thought.
So the system I rebelled against and fought.
As I ran away crying in the dark.
The people knew how I would feel.
They knew my family would never heal.
They knew I would have problems as I got older.
They knew it all and they still sealed those folders.
Did they care or have a heart?
Did they care that it was my mom and me that were torn apart?
Did they care that I was innocent and young?
No, they didn't because in court they told me to watch my tongue.
Better yet not to speak
as I heard those words that turned my world dark and made me weak.
Did they want what was best for me or was it intuition?
No! All along it was their CRUEL INTENTIONS.
It was all about money and greed.
What they didn't know was the hatred they had just planted inside of me.
They knew how I was feeling all those years,
they knew it because I had already openly showed them my tears.
Tears that I've never shown anyone else,
tears I feel never helped.
Tears that flowed out and emptied my soul,
tears that I don't cry anymore, because now that I know I'll never be whole.
So when people ask, "What is the reason You live with all this tension?"
My answer will be, "It's because I have had to live with the results of the world's CRUEL INTENTIONS."
