I thought I was moving forward.
I thought I was free.
I thought I was leaving behind all this negativity.
Oh, no, but it’s clear to me now,
And I don’t know how I didn’t see
That this will never change.

How long have I been striving to rearrange
The broken memories
To keep arriving at the same dead end?
I thought maybe if I just pretend that
Everything’s gonna be all right
The pieces would finally fit together tight,
But now I fully comprehend my stupidity.

This was written in that moment when you've realized that nothing was as it seemed. The feeling of deceit is magnified by the knowledge of your own naivety.

&lrm;&quot;I&rsquo;m learning how to drown out the constant noise that is such an inseparable part of my life. I don&rsquo;t have to prove anything to anyone. I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world: I run my world.&quot; - Beyonc&eacute;

Aw... Just aw.. I had been stupid as well. And I hate it. But sometimes, we dont realize, that our mistakes develop us. 

By the way, your poems are relatable. :)
