THE PERSON YOU’VE WARNED ME ABOUT

by mary   Sep 7, 2003


I was always the good one,
The one you knew would never do anything wrong.
I was always the example,
The one that made you strong,
But now I have become harmful
I have become the person you warned me about
I’m am no longer an angel
You said no
I said yes
You said right
I said left
I didn’t feel alive anymore
Instead I felt dead
I have become the person you warned me about
Instead of feeling happy
I’ve felt worn out
Instead of showing me off
You’ve hidden me
Embarrassed from the person I’ve become
I feel like I’m my own victim
Mad at myself for letting you down
Mad at myself for not being around
You keep asking me,
Is it something you’ve done
And what happened to the good person
You keep saying,
We didn’t raise you to act this way
Well maybe the way I was raised
Caused me to act this way
I have become the person you warned me about
You pushed me to do this
Pushed me to do that
Its not your life
Its mine
Don’t make me do things
That you missed out on
I guess I’m following your footsteps,
All your pain inside you’ve kept
Until you made wrong decisions
And didn’t care about your actions,
Didn’t even care what would happen
And now you’ve betrayed me
Because that’s what I’ve done
I have become the person you warned me about
You think I like my lifestyle?
I don’t,
I’ve lived this way for a while
And it’s hard to just forget it and smile
You expected too much from me
And I couldn’t take it
I couldn’t take to see the pain on your face when I’ve failed
Couldn’t take to see the anger in your eyes
When I didn’t prevail
I know I should have listened to you when you told me the truth
But there was something about the bad,
That I had to duluth
I should have listened
But now it’s too late to change and say sorry
I’m sad with out a doubt
But it’s too late to change the person you’ve warned me about.
