VENGED

Have you been there;
The city of betrayal?
Where best friends,
Become bitter foes.
A once hailed savior,
Thrown to the jailer.
I have been there;
T'was real; like they said.

Have you been there;
Oh have you been?
Paid with rejection,
Pain and depression.
When All you offered,
Was complete devotion.
Sure, I have been there;
T'was real like they said.

It tastes so sour and bitter,
When your love breeds hate.
When your utmost support,
Is seen as a competition.
It killed me not,
rather made me stronger.
It pained me though,
But not forever.
For I have seen,
Love turn to hate.
Yes, I have seen
A snail win a race.

Live life; Live happily.
Do good; Do what you can.
Seek God; Seek more LOVE.
Change them; that seeks to change you.
I for one prefer,
Selflessness to Selfishness.
I would rather accept,
Good over evil.
But it matters not as much,
As it used to me before.
For I have seen both sides,
Promise and fail.

Life is a lesson.
