Yes, it hurts

Yes, it feels shameful

To feel the brunt of betrayal in

Return of your loyalty.

Yes, you feel foolish and labeled

As naive

“Stupid”

These are labels only sung by

Wolves in sheep’s clothing,

Those who basque in betrayal,

Celebrating false triumphs

Don’t listen to fools who say

It’s too late

Start over

Better to shine in the center than

hide in the shadow
