It wasnt always like this

and how i wish i could still belong
in, that world.
My generosity has ultimatly, condemned me
for i have let, things slide
and now theres no place to hide.
Im being ridiculed for who i am,
and only now i fully understand.
So now i have to toughen up
let no-one walk over me
the way their used to
must now not be seen.
To treat everyone as potential enemy's
though still pretending they are friends
what a predicament to get my, self in.chorus:

Hi, Chard,
I am moved by the subject of this song: the sadness of realizing there are people who will use you or be cruel in other ways, when once (as young children, or before some special event?) we assumed others were friends unless proven otherwise. It is a sad realization many people have to deal with...and one that makes it all the nicer when people are friendly and come to our aid when we are in need.
I am curious about what it is that the speaker in the song has "let slide?" Also, I find the song makes me want to know more about what it is that causes others to ridicule the speaker of the song. Do you wish to keep that in general terms, or be more specific?
