I cry, rant and break When you hurt me I expect you to be perfect and unblemished You expect me not to hurt you. I expect you not to stab me in the back But, what I run from is always at my tail What I warned you about is what you are now warning me about too. When I expect you not to mess up. You surely come around with knife at my back. But, what I failed to know What I failed to understand Is what I experience on the outside Is a function of the activities on the inside. What I refused to understand Is you cannot disappoint me I can only disappoint myself. When you hurt me It is as a result of my failure to understand that: What happens to me is what I invite.
