Backstabber
Keep your circle small, you'll ween out the ones that don't belong.

You turned your back on family not knowing what will come
You said you've done so much for them yet look what you got in return
You set yourself up for failure once more
You've put on a show; you've started the fake tears
Your story keeps changing as you see fit
Eventually it will all catch up to you, just wait and see
This will be the last time you turn your back on me
No matter how much we've done for each other' you've unraveled it all
Backstabbing your own family, allowing others to be your eyes
You've dug your own bed, now lay in the choice you've made
You can't question the choices of the other when you picked a side
Neutral is how it all should have gone
You picked a side and lied through your teeth
Switching the story, making yourself out to be the victim
Reality will set in, you will see your choices come back at you
Karma can hurt and in return you'll receive yours
You've chosen to backstab one final time; this was the last straw for me
Can't believe family could do such things, finding family in strangers instead of blood
Time will pass, children will grow
Only person you can blame is yourself now
Sit with your choices of backstabbing a loved one
One who cared when no one else does
The one who was always one call away
Now you'll truly see who has your back
You backstabbed for the final time and you'll be shown how
We may be born into a family but it doesn't mean it last that way. Sometimes we find family in those who have no relation to us. Sometimes we are close to other family members than others. Through it all you will know that forgiveness is the way to go even when you are backstabbed by a loved one. It is okay to create distance, but remember to forgive. You don't want to stay bitter, even when all that happened wasn't fair. Once you learn to forgive just keep pushing forward, you know who is really there for you when you look around at the circle of friends/family you do have. Don't hold a grudge that turns your heart black, this happen for a reason and what goes around come around. Just keep your head up through it all!
