Bleak Mind View

Silly Me

People say honesty is the best policy
But I'm so frank
That my lips are bleeding
Because the truth hurts

I run back and forth
Through my mind looking for the change
People claim I need
But all I ever find are bills;
No quarters or pennies

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong couch
Maybe I don't change my pants enough

I keep saying
"The person you see isn't really me"
But do you listen?
No, why?
You don't pay attention
Because you can't afford it
Maybe you should have the bills

I make my bed everyday
But someone else lies in it
Simply because they fear consequences of truth

We often hardly fit
"A push-up a day
Keeps the fat away"
Or so they say

I won't take out the trash
I'll throw it in a pit
Burn it to ash
Cover it and spit
It won't be simple.
