Pointing Fingers

You did this to you. #VocalNPM

The best revenge is when you realize you no longer care about that person or what they say or their situation, it’s called freedom.

I didn’t break their hearts

I didn’t cheat

I didn’t lie

I didn’t deceive

I didn’t break promises

I didn’t leave

I didn’t do any of those things to you

I know how you like to pretend it was different

I know how disappointed you are that I wouldn’t protect you

You did every single one of those things on this list The list of the reasons why your family doesn’t trust or feel the same love for you as they used to

Repeat after me, you did this to you

It’s so cliche’ it’s sad but it’s true

It’s such a waste, a pure shame

Nobody else here to blame

But the selfish boy you see in the mirror

You did this to you

I don’t think I can make it any more clear
