Tarnishing Tales

Tarnished past how long will it last?

Born in exile what am I to do?

So afraid of the Future, Oh yes how bout you?

Destroy me?  You have.

Brought me down til I was nothing.

All because you knew I would be something.

A lot of motivation will get you a long way.

But it takes non stop dedication at the end of the day.

Smile in my face don’t disrespect my back.

Don’t even want to see your face as a matter of fact.

Your tarnishing ways gave me eternal pain.

What can you possibly say that there was to gain?

Tears I couldn’t cry because I never knew they existed.

Tarnished memories leaves my mind twisted.

Trust is a Fear Factor will you loose the game?

But shall I thank you for things will never be the same?

Belittling me, at the same time you grew my mind.

Peace and Joy I have received, I truly hope you find.

Look me in my eyes that’s if you could do.

Pathetic and ashamed I would be too.

The feeling is great when I arise from a slumber.

Your tarnishing ways gave you tarnishing days you can’t cumber.
