Betraying the truth
Behind those eyes
Your words
Your thoughts
Your feelings.
Saying you need help
But then you betray
Turn around
Make false claims.
It's just jealousy
'Cos you aren't me.
Your ficctional life
you hide behind.
Closed shutters
A false front
false claims
false words.
Trapping people inside.
Your jealousy makes you weak
Makes you crumble
Makes you fall.
Hurdles will arise
That is life
You must deal.
But you build up your web,
Pretend to be....
You are supported
people care,
but your insecurities let you down.
Make you cry,
Make you flee.
Do you understand?
You want to be like 'them'
So you push all others away.
You have your goal
You have your aim.
It's a computer game!
They may be real people
But they are not all your friends
You are still new to the game
You don't understand.
You use them
To get where you want to be.
Top of the pile?
Wait and see.
You have so much to learn
So much to realise.
The internet is virtual
Not all your bonds exist.
Take a husband, wife or lover
It doesn't mean you are committed
It is a game, don't you see?
Your jealousy
And paranoia,
They get the best of you.
learn who loves you,
Learn who cares.
Stop turning others away.
I never thought this badly of you
but you used me,
to try and achieve your goals.
When I disagreed,
When I was chosen,
You acted like it was a big deal!
I know why I was chosen
You saw it as a slight.
I never copied,
Didn't try to hurt you.
I did my job,
What was asked of me.
Is it my fault others preferred it?
Get over yourself girl -
I actually like you.
Supported you, comforted you,
Was there for you and tried to help.
A good word here,
A good word there.
But it wasn't enough.
I wasn't good enough for you to achieve
You used me, don't you see?
You thre me away when I couldn't help anymore.
You really hurt me.
