You got me all wrong, my kindness laid bare,
All the goodness I showed, did you even care?
You forgot it all for a single mistake,
Could’ve talked it out, for our friendship's sake.

Instead, you grouped up, called me out loud,
Confronting me straight, while hiding in a crowd.
I’m not perfect, I know, I have things I lack,
But you got me all wrong; I'm just human, in fact.

I was vulnerable, trusting you deep,
I’m a human too, and yes, I weep.
I take responsibility, I know I can break,
But it aches in my heart; I’m human, I ache.
The ones I thought understood, chose to stand tall,
Isolated me, made me feel small.

I’m not saying it wasn’t my fault, it’s true,
But couldn’t you tell me what I did to you?
And now it has hit, like a cold, bitter knife,
That I’m a nobody to those I thought were my life.
