He was a sociopath
playing an empathetic character
He pushed everyone away
and refused to see
that he was the problem

I can't end up like him.

She hid from the world
Scared of everything
that could hurt her
Always in her little bubble
and never letting herself change

I can't end up like her.

He was a leech
Taking everything
Giving nothing back
And when people
were tired of giving
His whole world fell apart

I can't end up like him.


He thought his stepdaughter
Would never love him
But he was patient
and he accepted her
And finally they were a family

He proved me wrong.

A big change came
To her little world
When she had to move away
She could have ignored it
She could have hidden from it
But instead she faced it

She finally grew up.

When his world fell apart
He finally saw what he did
to the people he loved
He was forced to build
from the ground up
And accept what he lost

His success was finally his own


I heard so many terrible things
From people I trusted
About all three of them
That I couldn't see
the good in them anymore

I wish I saw the truth sooner
And I'm sorry
