PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Your smiling face deceives me

Or at least you think it does

I’m not as stupid as I seem

I’m not naïve as I once was



You say you’re happy for me

That’s a lie in purest form

You think I think you’re genuine

I, too, can well perform



You think that I can’t see you

For what you really are

You think I’m just as gullible

As the closest movie star



You think you’re just so smart

You think that you’re so slick

But I caught that game early on

I’m really not that thick



You talk so much shit behind my back

You talk every single day

It seems to me apparently

That you got lots to say



I’m hearing about my hairstyle

I’m hearing about my clothes

I’m hearing stuff that’s laughable

What’s coming next? Who knows?



Fact is you just can’t stand me

And that is why you hate

Or maybe you’re in love with me

It seems to be my fate



You cut your eyes and suck your teeth

When you see me day to day

It’s getting so damn funny

Because your attitude is gay



I guess it’s just my character

Or my sudden burst of luck

Whatever it is, I can’t be bothered

To give a flying fuck



The saddest fact is that your mind

Allows me so much space

To move about and torture you

Through an internal race



Whatever your reasons, whatever your thoughts

Why ever you place this game

You can hate and talk all you want

But you’ll never forget my name



In any event the point is clear

Whatever may be the case

I’m here to stay and you just don’t know

I won’t ever be replaced
