Mistakened Weakness tragedy struck my inner self no blood or guts no...it was worse ‒betrayal by those in trust I was weak ‒for a moment I pivoted stripped all love's endowment but your strip of me came way before‒ when I left home got out on my own we always bickered you and I you never told me‒ giving me reason to stay so I left ‒I went away then…you canceled me out just like that I became replaceable forgettable it all made me strong living on my own crying 'til dawn a little lost sheep gone I grew and soared ‒through all of it even war by myself I returned to you I busted trains and plans all for you to watch you say 'I do' you never knew the hoops I went through for you then it wired down like normal me and sis doing our thing ‒it was like when we were kids hanging and singing just being us but…then a third wheel returned then another and another I never knew what changed the view who can throw such a curve between sisters ‒who has such nerve I never asked I never will I grew weak a spell or two ‒but just a few through it all I stood alone all own my own by myself in stealth with no one to comfort me but the one who created me I learned through misery love left my family ‒all that I felt inside was all just for my eye making me see how much none of them knew me not at all strength built through what others' misery tried to kill I forgive you I made it through all that happened to me because I let you get to me thank you for hating me for betraying me for if you hadn't me and Jesus† wouldn't have met so intimately
