Done

At a certain point, even the nicest people end up needing a break,

Because you are tired of everyone hiding behind a mask and being fake.

You thought that you had found someone who wasn’t going to be the same,

But in the end, you realize that you only have yourself to blame.

Because you had a gut feeling that it would turn out this way,

And at this point, there is nothing left for you to say.

Because you tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but you see it all falling apart,

And you are trying to hold it together, but it is slowly starting to destroy your heart.

Because you so badly wanted to believe that it would not end up like this,

But no matter how hard you try, there are going to be times when you swing and miss.

Instead of getting sad, it is your time to get even,

Because you know that you have nothing else to believe in.

You have come too far to let people who don’t care be the reason you don’t get there,

And it is okay to admit that sometimes it’s not fair.

That you are always the one who is there for everyone,

But when you look for someone, you have none.

Everyone gets tired of always being the good person,

But the more you do for everyone else, then it all continues to worsen.

You are giving everything you have to them, when you really don’t have anything left to give, And you have finally realized that this is no way to live.

The list of names of people that have it coming is getting longer,

And with every setback you face, it is only causing you to get stronger.

Because you know that every single one of them would love to see you fail,

But you can finally see the real people who have all been hiding behind the veil.

And when you get to where you want to be, everyone is going to regret how they treated you,

And when they try to apologize, you better remember everything that they put you through. 

How they knew you were at rock bottom, and they just left you there to die,

And instead of being the bigger person, you now believe in an eye for an eye.

Because this is your time, and all of them get to sit back and watch you win,

And you know that karma is a bitch, and it will repay every single one of them for their sins.
