Right Thing

It was the right thing to do

For them, for him

For everyone

Everyone but me

It was the honest thing

The friendship thing to do

It was the Christian thing

It was the me thing

It was the right thing to do

It was the toughest thing

But it was the best thing

It was the loving thing

The caring thing

The right thing to do

So why does it feel so wrong?

Sure, I lose everything

But it was the right thing to do

Wasn’t it?

Wouldn’t he have done the same

For me?

After all, it was the right thing to do

And the right thing

Take precedence over me

Doesn’t it?

But I guess it’s just like they say

“No good deed goes unpunished.”
