When you care too much of what people think of you
When you care too much of wanting people to satisfy you to make you feel good about yourself
When you care too much of wanting to be accepted, validated, loved, and known by others
You just end up putting yourself in unnecessary situations of getting hurt
Truth be told, you're hurting yourself when you listen to the lies of your enemy
Insecurity screaming that you're not good enough
And so you get offended quickly when someone is insensitive or rude
Says something hurtful without intention of hurting you
But you perceive it negatively, as in they're "attacking" your worth
Looking down on you and not appreciating your efforts
Or seeing you as a person
Rejection stings
Failure bites
In anger, you retaliate to make them feel "wronged"
For any offense or hurt they've caused
When it's you who's actually causing more harm
Adding more fuel to the fire
Drinking bitter poison and wanting them to suffer
Drunk with rage, stupidity, and immature pettiness
That wears a mask called "victim"
Blinded by your prideful conceit
Twisted by a lie
All it takes is a seed
Planted in your mind
Taking root at the heart
Left unchecked, it'll grow like a weed
You reap what you sow, only you to blame
Logic tried to warn you, but you wouldn't listen
You trusted your feelings, and they were misguided
What's done is done, no turning back now
You've burned your bridges and severed trusted connections
Over a simple and worthless lie
Though you cover yourself in shame and regret
Knowing that you can never go back to the way things were
Using them as lessons and guides
To return to the One who's been there all along
Took you longer than it should have
For the words "I love you, you are mine."
To finally sink in and accept that it is enough
Keep moving forward, growing more in understanding
Aware of the infinite love, of the One who is and will always be
John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8-10, Ephesians 3:14-19, Jeremiah 31:3, Psalm 16:5-11, Matthew 28:20
