I have been lying my whole life
To everyone, and to myself
I show them my smiles,
When deep within, I'm dying
I show them my tears
But in my heart,
I know I'm raging
I suck at this game when I was young
They call me a liar
And in turn,
I really become one
Instead of telling how I really feel
I translate my emotions to anything else
And now in adulthood
I have to clap to myself a hundred fold
Because I have fooled everyone
And sometimes myself
I was taught honesty
And I put it into malpractice
Because I am a liar,
even to my own self.
