This happened to catch my eye
The truth behind all of the lies
I looked for the honesty
And I just came up empty
It was I who was full of mistrust
I couldn't understand why
The anger exploded within
I couldn't even try
No effort
No motivation
Life was one big mistake
I set the ball rolling
Fear was all I felt
Pushing goodness away
I wanted to experience the pain
And that's exactly what I  ******* got
Turning heads
Making others cry
And I wanted to cry too
I couldn't see the way
It was blind to me
Why was I so inconsiderate
It wasn't my intention
But it was still there
No apologizing
Just a ******* disaster
Waiting to happen
And so it was...
