You leave them behind

You leave them behind.

Morals and ethics,
Promises made,
Forgotten and broken,
Carelessly lost.

Old friends are nothing,
But thorns in your side,
Useless and pitiful,
You leave them behind.

Your Personality’s changing,
You’re drinking and smoking,
The things you hated most,
Now part of routine,
Now part of you,
But do you care?

Do you see the confusion?
The hurt that you’ve caused?
Or are you too selfish,
Too happy to see,
The tears in their eyes,
The pain in their faces?

Do you care anymore?
Is it worth all this?
Do you know who you are now?
Or did you sell your soul,
Your conscience,
Your past life,
All for popularity?
