its all a lie

i am a lie

what you see 

is not me

i show you 

what people have made of me

I show you

the lie of the century

for you— i am quiet

really— i am electric

for you— i stutter

really— i project

i show you

a persona

i show you

a mask

i choose to live in fear

rather than being myself

i choose to live in fear

but i know my self wealth

i show you

what you want to see

i show you

a girl who is not intimidating

my life is a shadow 

of the society today

everyone is watching 

waiting for my mistake

i show you 

a mirage

i show you 

a lie

wouldn’t you like to know the truth?

too bad— society took that from you.
