Bad Pennies

You just can’t tell me now

that you never realized

there was always something wrong

with the way you treat everyone

the simple fact remains

you’re a liar and a fake

it took me too long to say

but we’re better off without you

I bet you thought it was a secret

and that no one would ever hear

about the things you said and did

when our backs were turned away

You live a life of idle threats

leaving holes in bedroom walls

you should have figured this out for yourself

and how many chances did you think you’d get

and where do you get off

so let the truth be told, we’ve had enough, but not

giving up

So tell me once again

how much smarter you are than

every person you’ve ever met

how come you couldn’t see this coming

it was the blatant disrespect

to hide a lack of confidence

it was the ego you couldn’t check

some how you didn’t see this coming

Accept this as a fight you just can’t win

Maybe the lesson that finally sinks in
