Rising Star

The way they deserted you
The way they hurt you
The way you turned your face
As they deemed to slap you

They took their daggers,
And stabbed your heart
They watched you bleed,
And laughed at your hurt

They were never there
When you truly needed them
And yet you still go back
Pleading to be with them

One day you will wake up
And see the possibilities
That without them in your life
You will truly be happy

They don't deserve your love
They don't deserve your affection
You're a star burning bright
And their jealous of your attention

You're going places in this life
And your so called friends
Won't be there to witness
Your rise to stardom- To make amends.

One day they will realize
That their biggest mistake
Was to take you for granted
And to be so fake

So just raise your head
And put a smile on your face
Don't let them get you down
Since you're going to win this race

For every time they ignore you
Or treat you like a nobody
Remember that one day you will be
The biggest, the baddest, The best.

For every tear you shed
Know that the pain will pay off-
For you are a rising star
And they are simply your test.
