life is strange
you could be close to someone
then they’ll become something else
morphing into some kind of prick
instead of Superman
they’re Super Hypocrite
pushing their bullshit
thinking I should conform
but I still believe
I only answer to me
might be a bit old school
but you can’t tell me shit
my morals are my guidance
I know we aren’t the angels
we’re the ones left behind
that’s why I’ll finally say sorry
when we’re toasting
down in the flames of eternity
we can speak again
when we’re in fucking hell
you’ll be there for your complacency
and I’ll be there for my unwillingness
to let shit go
forgive and forget
I only did one of those
because I get tired of trying
friendships with so many conditions
you say I changed
no, you just wanted me to shape
like I was a lump of clay
pick out the pieces you didn’t like
memories that make me sick
because they tell a different story
one of acceptance
now I feel foolish
because now it feels like bullshit
I know we’re no devils
no one’s perfect
and maybe that makes us victims
that doesn’t mean I’m gonna pretend
that I’m not seething with hate
hoping you get yours one day
maybe I wouldn’t feel this way
if I wasn’t hurt before
I try so very hard to protect my heart
that when it gets beaten
I hold grudges
and that’s why I’ll be in hell
and that’s where I’ll see you
so if you see me passing on the street
don’t look my way
I have nothing to say but profanity
but hey, we can chill again
when we are both paying for our sins
Unapologetically penned, Nick. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

Thanks friend. It is perfect when spoken in a British accent haha.
The idea of angels vs devils is intriguing. Brings to home the truth, we are all a balance of light and dark. Just depends on which side we swing further into at any given time. Apathy is a thing I simply cannot condone. It’s a passive agreement to side with dark. Just boldly side and be honest, in my opinion. I know people like you describe up there. Aggravating
