Imposter

I crack a smile

And make some jokes

I turn around

And tears start to flow

I change my attitude

To match different folks

I'm a horror freak

In the eyes of a girl

Who deemed me papa pennywise

But deep inside

My coulrophobia is screaming


In the eyes of another

I have a kind heart made of gold

And a smile that could melt this world

No one sees

The real imposter is me

No one cares when I do a 180

From a caring sweet innocent child

To sailor with a crooked smile


The threats and the pain

The scars covered in paint

No one knows they're there

Just as no one knows

What lays beyond a pretty face

I wonder how many will run?

No doubt at least one

Would leave me in the dust

Though I won't cry

As I'm used to the consequences of my lies


I'm the imposter of my life

Different faces

Different skins

I switch my soul

To match a stranger's

My lawyer goes over my cases

Asking if I ever spoke the truth


To one, I'm an anime fan

To another, I enjoy a good tan

No one can know

No one can see

Which one is the real me

I don't know myself

That's what strikes the most fear

I am an imposter to myself

I wonder if my favourite colour

is yellow or blue

I wonder, what is my favourite food

I wonder if I ever knew

How it feels to stand next to you
