People Aren't Who They Say They Are

mtrotter1

It's a sad situation...

I am severely depressed!

 

For I am a good person

Who wears my heart on my sleeve,

And then the devil himself

Rips it off...

 

And off my heart goes

Into the abyss,

And people are manipulated

And they turn against me!

 

I am severely depressed,

For the world is not what it seems!

And I don't feel like taking a shower today,

So sue me!

 

I still smell like daisies

As the wind cries

And the sun disappears from my eyes...

 

I am not here to impress anyone!

Not fake friends,

Not lovers,

Not narcissistic stalkers

Who suck at life...LOL!

 

People aren't who they say they are...

No one is genuine

No one is kind,

No one is willing to lend a helping hand

To those who are in need,

No one wants to see anyone succeed!

 

I am severely depressed,

But I'm still happy!

I am afraid of the dark,

Should I still brush my teeth?

For I am severely depressed.

 

Is this a trigger warning for you?

Is this a warning sign?

I can't take my last breath

For there's nothing to hide...

 

And people are fickle

Just ask your boss...

I bet he or she

Is wearing a mask!

For deep down inside

People want others to fail

Because they are so miserable

And misery loves company,

 

People aren't who they say they are

Because the realness is too deep,

And the realest people

Do not exist...

 

It's like a rose that grows from concrete...

How rare is it to find

Such a genuine thing,

For people will never be real

And people will never reveal

Their heart...

 

For the heart is the most deceiving thing

That can destroy mankind!

For the heart is a wicked thing...

Do you agree?

For people aren't really people

And that's a fact!

 

And truth be told,

I am severely depressed

Because it makes me feel alive

In my own torment.

 

I don't want people

And I don't need people,

But I'm living in a world

Where I really don't have a choice...

 

So I stay inside

And rot on this couch

I call life....

 

People aren't people,

And people aren't who they say they are...

It is a sad world we are living in

If we can't just simply be ourselves...
