Extra Mile
I wrote this at a time in my life when I felt I was being used. Even betrayed. By friends. People I trusted. Despite that, I felt compelled to do the right thing. Because I still had to live with me.
the sadness in my eyes
betrays the way I feel
hurt so deep
so numb, so surreal
i've given my all
whatever could help
i gave 'til i bled
i sacrificed self
a glimmer of hope
revealed in an innocent smile
just to do what's right
i'd walk an extra mile
