The Proving Ground

Seeing you change has got the better of me


You are not the same person you used to be


You turn your nose up with a downward frown


Just to let me know you do not want me around


It is such a heartache to know


You only wanted me when you were down and low

Sharing your love was a wonder to behold


The most beautiful story to ever be told


Now when you see me you turn your head


Forcing back my hellos for tears instead


The joys we shared we will never have again


You have climbed up the latter from whence you came


Cruel and heartless are some of the ones who succeed


They come from a roofless and selfish breed

I hope the time never comes when the day you shall fall


I applauded you for your success, accomplishments and a


Now that I have continued my own life to live


I've given to you everything my heart can give.

For myself I am happy but for you I am sad


Good never comes from that that turns bad


Do not let your life become the proving ground


For people who succeed and tumble back down


Life can come full circle for which there seems to


be no ends


Always remember never to turn your back on your friends


You can take this to heart or be like a circus clown


It is a lot harder to get up than it is to fall down


For when you find yourself reaching for the ones who care


Take care for you may find that nobody is there

Heed the moral of the story for this is true


The people you shun may do the same to you
