Look In The Mirror
She was poisoned by a bittersweet taste
It caused her person to be displaced
It’s like she doesn’t know right from wrong
Fueling her own feelings that she doesn’t belong
It takes over her mind, her body, and her life
But yet she doesn’t try to stop the knife
Instead, she gives into the evil pleasure
Costing her everything that she treasures
She says she’ll change, that things will be different
Then give it a week and she’s being belligerent
We know this is not who she truly is
But we pull away from her toxic wiz
We keep silent in hope that it will fix itself
But soon we’ll learn she can't do it herself
Though claiming change she denies the offers
And lets herself drown in the poison waters
Now she hurts others in her denial
Causing problems throughout her own trial
She pleads innocent and claims to have not known
But she screams and accuses over the phone
Now she blames others for her actions
Trying to find some satisfaction
But those who are close are done with her s***
And sit there and wonder if this is permanent
Suddenly we’re all angry at each other
Waiting for an apology from one another
Though one side is right and one is wrong
I’m tired of everyone trying to be “strong”
Look in the mirror, realize your faults
And stop it with the meaningless assaults
Now we lie at a dreadful crossroad
Hoping she will lift the load
There’s only so much one can do
Before we leave it up to you
I hope that you are going to be fine
But I cannot keep walking the thinning line
Where is the change? What will you do?
When there's no one left to turn to
I don't want that to happen, I want to help
But I won’t poison the life I’ve been dealt
