Fake



There was a time
When I was like you,
Cruel and careless,
Denying the truth.

But there is a difference
Between you and I.
I've never told my
Whole life as a lie.

I'm not pretentious,
I'm not fake like you.
You change your story
And what you've "been through"

I just don't get it
How people believe
All of your lies
Through your dirty misdeeds.

It doesn't matter
To you, how I feel.
Shut up and come back
When your lies are real...
