Fake Me

I live life spouting these words

"Don't pretend to be someone you're not, you unbalance the world that way."

But these days that's just a lie

Because I get faker and faker everyday

I couldn't tell you who I really am

But I can tell you what I'm not

Usually I don't have a choice in the matter

I'm turning into a human robot

Everyday I feel like I'm asking myself

"Today who should I pretend to be?"

And the person you talk to everyday

Is only half of the real me

It's like I'm painting on a new personality

One people would care to know

When in truth all I want to say is

"If you don't like me how I am then you are free to go!"

But now I think I have a different personality for every person

Each one is suited to what they want to hear or see

None of these people have a clue

That the person they know may not be the real me

Still I get faker by the day

Faker by the hour

Faker every second

Though I have the right to change, I have that power!

Still everyone has their expectations of me

As it's their rules I must live by

I have no power against the people's control over me

So I hide what's left of the real me and I live the lie
