You


You isolate yourself.

Push people away,

But then still turn around and beg for attention.

 

You neglect the people that love you,

That treat you right.

But then expect them to still be there at the end of the night.

 

You carry yourself with confidence,

But act with insecurity.

Constantly living in apprehension of what others are thinking of you.

 

You let vices dictate you.

Instead of being man enough, nay-strong enough to look for the right solutions to your problems.

You look for an escape.

 

You are always there for the wrong people.

For the people that take advantage of you,

Instead of those that take advantage of  situations to be there for you.

 

You are needy,

And honestly quite pathetic.

Asking others to make decisions for you, instead of going for what you want.

 

You never admit your fault,

But act like you don't see it.

Maybe you really don't see it,

Maybe no one has taught you too.

 

You isolated yourself.

With your pride, your lack of a sincere apologies, your shortcomings.

All of which could have been forgiven,

If you had not lied about them.

If you had not hidden them.

You did this to yourself.

You Isolated

Yourself.
