PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I'm not as pretentious

as you think I am

I'm not as hard to get

as I play

Things aren't always what they seem

At least nine times out of ten in my case



Ya see I have to put up a front

That kinda acts like a shield

The message I put across

is " I will not yield"



On days I'm feelin' particularly weak

I try so hard not to let it show

I can't look into your eyes

Cuz I know you'd see right through my disguise



Ain't it a shame

I got no one but myself to blame

Although I set the rules of this game

I'm always the one who seems to lose



I HIDE INSIDE MY PROTECTIVE SHELL

PUTTIN' UP A FRONT IS SOMETHING I DO WELL
