Lies....Everywhere

When the world sleeps I stay awake.
Watching... Wondering what this life has in store for me.
The ups & downs.
Lies upon lies how do I ever trust?
Why is it so hard for people to be real?
Guess they just can't be themselves regardless if you; yourself are real with them.
The trials & tribulations of life forever keep you on guard.
Never knowing what will happen next.
One minute here then next never to be seen again.

The world has become a complete jumble of gadgets & gizmos.
Technology & Internet rule the world of communication like no other.
Making it so much easier to hide; never to really be yourself...leaving many to lie.
Regardless of the changing world.
I don't hide nor do I lie about who I am & where I come from.
I'm gonna be real with you regardless of the situation.
And if need be I'll be brutally honest cuz that's just me.
I wasn't put on this earth to please you nor to fit inside your box.
I am me & that's all I'll ever be.
Don't like something bout me well then get to steppin cuz I don't give a rats ass.

I do as I please, speak how I like.
Dress in what's comfortable to me.
My tats aren't some fad they are my life story for the world to see.
I chose to wear my art literally on my sleeve.
Unlike most I don't need to lie to be me,
I don't need to lie to make friends or get a man.
People like me cuz I'm real & I'm me.
Simply that.... I'm me & that's all I'll ever be.
I don't need to hide behind a web of lies to live my life as I please.
