I walked alone, this I know.
All of my friends became a no-show.
I bent over backwards for every person,
To be opposed by my own assertion.
Belittled, insulted, and pushed in’ the dirt.
Still I managed to hide the hurt!
As I looked up, I heard no sound.
And since I had nothing, no one was around!
But once my dreams transform to fame,
My life will make a dramatic change.
Those who bailed in the beginning,
Will follow me once I am winning.
However….. My trust goes beyond my breakthrough.
And those who stuck with me, I’ll be sure to thank you.
I’ll give back to those who gave,
And laugh hard at those who shamed!
Life is nothing but a tricky game,
And human nature is to blame!
