NEVER WERE

You never were the person I thought you were.

Are you tired now, from the web of lies you've spun?

Are you afraid yet?

That life as you knew it is over.

You can never go back to time before,

you wanted more credit than you deserved.

 

Everything is now nothing more than one sided memories.

Pictures with holes in them.

You have already walked out and locked that door.

Which there was never a key.

The memory is so old it can no longer be held.

A fading thought of what once was, clouded over with time.

And no way to wipe it away.

 

Are you done wasting everyone's time?

There isn't much left now.

Have you done anything worthwhile yet?

Accomplished any important life goal?

Surprise someone, break the mold they have put you in.

Blow apart the labels you have been slaving under...
