Drove Away
I stand on my pedestal looking over head,
Of all the people I hurt with the selfish things I did.
Hoping for forgiveness but knowing it’s not deserving,
I can see it in their eyes that they are still hurting.
Wishing I never did any of the things I’ve done,
I slowly pushed them away hurting them one by one.
I’m locked up unwillingly doing stupid things,
Instead of enjoying Life and all the joy it brings.
Not showing the Love that has always been there,
Taking out my pain on people knowing it was unfair.
Asking for another try as slowly I begin to cry,
Standing here wondering why I never enjoyed these things of mine.
I’ve hurt so many and helped so few,
And now I have hurt me too.
Not in any physical way,
But because I drove everyone away.
