So much for so called family So much for so called friends I'm sick of driving on this road that won't ever end At the next exit, I'm gonna close my eyes and let my hair fly around the bend This place is so gray, so old With not one story that hasn't been told Hushed whispers But clear enough to hear snickers Idk who made any of you, judge and jury But, you don't know me, you don't know **** so I'm out in a hurry I can't take anymore fingers pointed at me With words filled with hate at a person I used to be Hypocrites, everyone of you And I'd like to remind you, that glass house is pretty see through I wear my heart on my sleeve full of good intentions Your heart is filthy, not even worth a mention If your hearts and minds were ever clear It would've been easy to see the face with fallen tear after fallen tear Why would I ever want this life? Tell me? Am I so bored that I just do things outta bitterness and strife? In your soul you truly believe HE did all he could to fix our relationship? And I just refused it? Cause you all know that's why I distanced myself from the "family" right? Please don't act idiotic and shake your head, point fingers and start a fight I've had enough! Heavy breathing, beat read face, and silent tears show I'm not that tough But, I can no longer allow these strangers in my life to bring me down I'm done forcing myself to come around I leave broken every single time If I keep letting you break me Ill lose the ability to spit a rhyme There will be nothing left of me And there's just to much that I am to let waste on people who will never see I opened my eyes, this exit has taken far from the old, dirt road I was stuck on I look up, the stars fill the sky, the clouds are gone The heaviness in my heart has been lifted The powers finally shifted I no longer feel banished and alone I'm finally on my way home My taillights fade into the night And that'll be the last you ever see of me as I speed up and drive outta sight

The Next Exit
So much for so called family So much for so called friends I'm sick of driving on this road that won't ever end At the next exit, I'm gonna close my eyes and let my hair fly around the bend This place is so gray, so old With not one story that hasn't been told Hushed whispers But clear enough to hear snickers Idk who made any of you, judge and jury But, you don't know me, you don't know **** so I'm out in a hurry I can't take anymore fingers pointed at me With words filled with hate at a person I used to be Hypocrites, everyone of you And I'd like to remind you, that glass house is pretty see through I wear my heart on my sleeve full of good intentions Your heart is filthy, not even worth a mention If your hearts and minds were ever clear It would've been easy to see the face with fallen tear after fallen tear Why would I ever want this life?

After about 20 some years of misery and fighting to belong, in just that puzzle piece that doesn't fit bc my edges are smooth, not jagged like their's. I couldn't be happier to leave these judgmental ******** staring into the dust.. In other terms, kissing my *** goodbye! Family or not, my heart never deserved the beating its been taking. And not for lack of trying to fix it either. Washed my hand clean, what's done cannot be undone and I'm finally just done! Sorry needed to vent..
