GETTING BURNED

Raven69 1969 (Lakeland)



Not knowing where to go,
Not knowing which way to turn.
No matter which road you choose
It seems you are always,
Getting burned.
No one really cares,
No one lends a hand
They will push you,
As your falling
And you are supposed
To understand.
Am sorry,
Means absolutely nothing.
Because it's used way to much.
When you hear it,
Over and over
It gets old
It lost that special touch.
Love is taken for granted
Commitment,
Seems to be a sin.
This is some of the reasons,
Why I no longer let people in.
People want you to listen,
To them
But not to you.
So selfish and overbearing,
Behind your back
They call you a fool.
The truth is no longer spoken,
Lies have over run
I sit and think to myself,
I know
I can't be the only one.
