A Glimpse Inside

A Glimpse Inside

An enemy to countless

A friend to some

A martyr to many

A hero to none

You can take these words

And toss them aside

Got nothing to prove

And nothing left to hide

I’ll give you my narrative

I’ll tell you my tales

But I won’t worry you

With all the little details

I’ve been an enemy to countless

Their hatred still burns

A friend to some

As I listened to their concerns

A martyr to many

Took the sacrifice themselves

And a hero to none

Not even myself

Locked myself up

In this tower of pain

Better to suffer alone

Than play their games

Renounced who I was

Gave them what they needed

Each new one that came along

I hoped history wasn’t repeated

But they came and went

Again and again

The uninterrupted cycle

Of the loss of friends

For I’ve been an enemy to countless

And I’ve been a friend to some

I was the martyr for many

But a hero to none
