I Would Never

Folder:

Every second closer

To the lie I have become

My solice contemplating

Where people get their stories from.



What makes me such a fake

When they all stare behind their masks

Pretending that their special

Performing melancholy tasks.



Calling me a sheep

When we’re all of the same herd

It makes me want to laugh

Because it seems to me absurd.



I’ll be myself just like they are

At least I’m honest unlike you

Lying to myself

Is something I would never do.
