Betrayal

Do you know what's it's like to be left behind?
For all your loved ones to proclaim they don't want you in their lives?
It's like getting stabbed in the back.
Betrayal they call it time to flashback.

A few years ago in the heat of summer, I was left alone to simply wonder.
Why did they abandon me in my darkest day?
When depression was destroying me in every way.
I know I wasn't great as my depression grew,
but I thought we were a team and there wasn't anything we couldn't get through? 
I guess I was wrong and I have to accept that,
but what came next made me go splat.

I reached from others I trusted.
Parents, friends and people that mattered a nice bit.
Instead of help all I got made me disgusted.
Friends told me nothing as they didn't want to hear it, and my parents told me to go get pills which crushed my spirit.
If pills were my way out I didn't want that existence.
Manufactured happiness isn't real or persistent.

That's what it feels like to be left behind.
Feelings of anger and bitterness cloud your mind.
We can either choose to remember or forgive.
I chose to forgive, as in life we all make mistakes we have to relive.
People are people and we are far from a perfect race.
So even for those who altered my life my love for them will never leave my mind.
