Why would I lie?

Not many people trust me

Why I just don't know.

Maybe it's something in my eyes

Or the fact I seem to glow.

Walking through the city

People turn and stare.

Maybe there's something on my face

But I just reply with a glare.

I often change my accent

Maybe it throws people off.

One day sounding Scottish

The next like I have a cough.

My personality changes also

From happy and loud

To quiet and sad

Is that not allowed?

My words are mostly truthful

But often not believed

On the rare occasion I am trusted,

My words are mis-perceived.

The question that goes through my mind

Is simple: Why would I lie?

All these things are who I am

But still a hello is often goodbye.
