Two Sides

Anxiety is a formidable rival
It will completely screw you over
Toss you into a world of denial
You won’t be able to keep your cover

Life is full of disappointment
Heartache and sadness are inescapable
Learning lessons is important
Anyone could betray you
And look oh so very relatable

Every event is made of two sides
You can call me crazy and a wee bit obsessive
But the tides are always turning
Every event is made of two sides
I can call you a coward who is oppressive
But inside you’re probably hurting
Both of us came out losing

Society is a field of land mines
People are honest or quite deceitful
Either way you’ll be paying fines

I’ve defended you with my word
Because I felt immensely guilty
You stabbed me with a sword
Now I wish I hadn’t shown pity

Friends can help or be pure evil
At first their presence shines
Then the liars make you grovel

Every event is made of two sides
You can call me crazy and a wee bit obsessive
But the tides are always turning
Every event is made of two sides
I can call you a coward who is oppressive
But inside you’re probably hurting
Both of us came out losing

Take it from this lone wolf
Trust is best in small doses
Life has given enough proof
Be wary of grimy opportunists
And the secrets time exposes

I assume you’ve said the same
About me to all your friends
And called me some bad name

I’ll remember the fun and be hopeful
But don’t think you’ll destroy me
I’ll strike first and leave you in the gravel
