Sidelined

Ever felt sidelined after giving your all?
Trusted someone, stood by them,
only to be pushed away when it mattered most?

It hurts
this world, so full of selfish souls,
makes it hard to find the real ones.
You believe in people, in loyalty, in truth
but often, you’re left managing everything alone.

Eventually, everyone walks away.
And to survive here,
you need a bit of that selfishness too.
It’s not kindness that wins
it’s strategy, it’s strength.

Sometimes, it feels like we’re in an arcade game
dodging betrayal, chasing purpose.
You’ll be sidelined, again and again.
So follow your instincts, take what you need.

Because at the end of the day
it’s you. Just you.
