"Vindication Is a Hell of a Thing" by Marjorie Gordon

So much heartache, too much pain.

You ever tried screaming but the sound refused to come out?

Weak in the knees from all the emotional strain.

Ever try to speak, and no words, even though you open your mouth?

All because of other people’s selfish gain.

When you told the truth it all got twisted.

VINDICATION IS A HELL OF A THING.

On all sorts of papers your name among the LIES got listed.

If only they knew how much pain their deceptive tongues bring.

They talk, they laugh, they slander your name.

They hate you so much they give you the blame.

Even though there is sunshine you are always in the rain.

It hurts like hell, there is always so much pain.

Short change one employer each day to give to another.

An hour each day don’t seem like a lot, but it all adds up.

When you speak what’s on your mind then you become a bother.

That’s when your peaceful life their lies erupt.

Life lessons learned, nobody cares about you when you speak the truth.

Not when lies give them conviction and boosts their careers.

The plant was so beautiful but they killed it from the root.

From that day on everything became dull, dark and dreary.

But God said their day will come; don’t worry my dear.
