The End of it all

I have had to come to terms
with my role in everyone's story

I have come to see myself as the villain

Though my intentions are good
I just end up hurting people

I have idealised many
I have accepted them
for who they are
Not realising
what a deep bond that creates

I've avoided hurting people
Not realising
how much that actually
ends up hurting them

So I now see myself as the villain
In everybodies story
I seek no redemption
Because I could never apologize

I can only pick myself up
For the past has past

I can only pick myself up
Because nobody is left

I must now start from scratch

For this arc of my life
Has come to an end

The burden that I have carried
Each and every day
I choose to let go today

For I am just tired
Of living this life

The pain I have bared
I hope to heal
Though it just seems to linger
But I will still fight
To get stronger

I have played the role
Of the villain
In everybodies story

But I seek no redemption
For I played with the hand
That I was given
And my game has cost me plenty

This debt is mine to bare
Because by the end of it all

I'll be a hero
In my own story
