Thirteen

3

You try so hard,
To deny,
But you can't run away,
From your own lies.

You say that,
They don't bother you,
But I see through your words,
I know what your saying isn't true.

I see how much,
Your reputation matters,
In front of them,
You don't want to appear shattered.

Yet you tell me,
That you don't care what they say,
That they can't change you,
But I can see the game you play.

You tell me not to be affected,
By what anybody says,
But I'm not the one who needs advice,
You need to follow your own ways.
