It was a mistake...

Do you know what it is

To be forced to do

something you love

So often it hurts

The thing you once loved

becomes your greatest pain

That's what I felt when I did what I did

Clouded by despair I saw no way out sacrificing soul through body all for

Fake smiles

Untrue passion

Meaningless wealth

Jaded and scarred I resurface

Unrecognizable to myself

My soul no longer knows me

I've betrayed my worth

Sacrificed for something so unworthy

I wish someone stopped me before

I hurt myself so.

Lesson learned

The world will let you suffer through grinned teeth

Than fight by your side through tears.

I know better now

Maybe I had to do what I did

Still it was a meaningless sacrifice.
