Righteous Indignation

Insult me,go on, keep bitching and moaning
I won't fall prey, I'll just keep on ignoring
I will not bow down to you petty minded folk
Or to those who think I'm nothing but a joke

I've been torn apart by many over the years
I pushed through the pain and fought back tears
For years, I've ripped out knives from my back
And kept on fighting to get my life on track

Yes, I've made mistakes, I'm just a human being
Comndemnd by judgment to the anger you're seeing
Nobody ever remembers the good that I've done
Despite it all,  it's my life that's come undone

I'm still learning truths about my so called friends
The one's who promised they'd be there till the end
The same lot who abandoned me when I was down
But guess what, I'm still afloat and I didn't drown

I stood with you and picked you up after the falls
Woke up in the middle of the night to answer calls
You held my mistakes against me, and I didn't see
That it'd be you that would walk away from me

But you know what, it doesn't matter, it's fine
I'm actually glad that you decided to draw the line
I'll survive this bullshit too,just like I always do
But it'll be because of me, and not cos of you
