No Apologies
 

By La Belle Rouge


some see what they want to see
believe the lies,
about the 'bad' in you or me

some listen to one side alone
in their email
on the other end of their phone

some send down judgments
and throw their stones



they don't really know the facts
but never let
their wagging tongues relax

they easily lay all the blame
on the one
their old friend might name

but it changes nothing
the truth remains the same



cold hard hearts, twisted minds
casting blame
to cover their own behinds

others foolish enough to believe
what they hear
from those who with hate seethe

so i will make no apology
for who i am, for being me



read what i write or leave it alone
go back to your gossip
on email and your phone

listen and believe what you will
it matters not at all
of false accusations have your fill

i'm no innocent babe it's true
but i'm not the bitch portrayed to you
