Shiloh Thompson - Don't Be Fooled

I won’t be fooled again,
By false promises of friendship,
Never again trusting blindly,
In those who sugar coat their lies.

Standing up for myself and others,
Will never be as easy as it is now,
Fighting for my rights to live,
And to love without remorse.

I always protect the ones I love,
No one could do better than that,
Taking the fall for everyone else,
Persevering because it was right.

I’ve had heartbreak, hatred and strife,
Battled emotions that threatened to kill,
Each time I’ve come out on top,
Because that is the kind of person I am.

So hate me because you say I’m annoying,
Hate me because I sometimes act immature,
Hate me because I am not a true friend,
I just ask if you hate me for the right reasons.
