I came into this world alone

So alone is what I'll be

And now that I've matured and grown

I've finally come to see

That people closest to my heart

Were people I thought I knew

The lessons learned were brutally harsh

And left me feeling blue

The same man I believed to be

The ideal perfect mate

Managed to conceal a family

All my good years gone to waste

It's a dog eat dog world out there

Full of warlocks and witches

Who will pretend as if they care

But they're just snakes and snitches

If you're doing well in life

You'd better watch your back

They say I love you with the knife

Hiding behind their back

A friend who once was dear to me

She was like my closest kin

Suddenly turned her back on me

To defend her cheating boyfriend

She didn't believe a word I said

When he made advances at me

She threatened to knock me upside the head

For feeding her lies and deceit

And this one person in particular

Not really considered a friend

Seduced the man my heart adored

I couldn't quite comprehend

How she could do this shit to me

I thought that we were cool

I still can't fathom her audacity

I still feel like a fool

To believe this person valued me

That called herself a friend

I was blinded by the empathy

She faked to lure me in

And last but not least the motor mouth

Who couldn't keep shit to himself

Who entertained gossip and rumors about

Everyone except himself

I went to him in confidence

About a certain situation

But he ran his mouth at my expense

And ruined my reputation

But never would he expose what he was doing in the dark

But was quick to talk about

Everybody else's faults

I could have taken him out

When I found out my business was in the streets

I mean it was everywhere

And people I have yet to meet

Know of my personal affairs

That's how I learned not to trust anyone

Not even my right hand

Because of all the damage done

In my entire lifespan

So now I could care less about

Who wants to be my friend

I would much rather do without

A person who'll pretend

I came into this world alone

So alone is what I'll be

Wandering through a secluded zone

On this wilderness journey

You see, solitude is good sometimes

To discover a higher self

And solitude can be sublime

So try it for yourself
