Overcoming Betrayal



Don’t tell me tales and lie to me,
Be up front so I can see.
Don’t hide what I need to know,
Don’t be my friend and betray me so.

I am honest and being true,
And you are the one here to screw.
Just be real and let me know,
Are you going to f*ck me and let me go.

Are you a snake hiding in grass,
Lying and playing me like an ass.
If so, karma is her to say,
I will rise and be ok.

It is you that will suffer over time,
Your core is black and will not shine.
I will prosper and survive,
You will die and I will thrive.
