I was fooled
Not by a friend
Not by an enemy
Not by a stranger

But by someone
Whom I thought
I could give trust
Someone very close to me

I thought only others could do that
I thought you loved yourself more than anyone else
I was completely wrong
I was the one who betrayed myself


I thought I could trust me
I thought I cared about me
But this darker side of me was holding too much power
I was peeling my own skin off

I was burning my own self
I was torturing myself
I was lying to myself
I was blinded by me

I was constantly lying
Thinking I was happy
Happy with what I was doing
Happy with something that didn't exist

Please help me escape from me
Please help me get rid of me
Please help and guide me away from the darkness
Please show me my brighter side.
