Consequences

Crys <3

Isn't it funny? How I smile and nod and lie

About things I so desperately wish to deny

And that even though no lies change a truth

I still build those lies diligently in my youth

And isn't it funny? How it's not even funny

That they don't see how much they hurt me

That they can't see past a layer of lies

To reach a soul that cries and cries and cries

But, you, know, I'm trying my best

I try my hardest in every test

I smile and nod, and maybe that's fine,

Maybe in everything I don't need to shine

I'll accept myself, that's all I need

Remove those nit-picky habits that grow like a weed

I just need to be me, myself and I

This way, I'll never have to lie

Depending on others, nah, I'd rather not

Russian Roulette with a faulty shot

Why should I risk my current mood

on someone if they happen to be rude?

No. My mood depends on me.

I'll be whoever I want to be.
