Karma's list



   1. In every decision I make,

    And every step I take,

    I see it through your eyes,

    Which makes me realize that

    I am a better person than you, and that's a fact.

    'Cause you would have twisted the story,

    Taken offense, and started a fight.

    2. You see the worst in people,

    Point out all my flaws in public

    Bring your lies to the dinning table

    While I still find myself struggling to find good in your soul,

    You keep breaking my heart into folds.

    3. I am not being proud,

    I just want to say out loud,

    That karma is a bitch,

    And babe, she has you on her list.

    4. I am sad now,

    And you are glad.

    You think you know better, but you don't.

    Honey, you are the 'worst' you see in me.

    5. I thought I had a bad sense of judgement,

    Crossing paths with you,

    Realizing yours is just irrational.

    6. I was wrong to assume you were good,

    When you helped me at school.

    Still, I know you aren't all bad,

    Like the world, you are more than black and white.
