Lies

By Shane

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Stating the obvious ain’t a habit of mine I’d say your beautiful but you know what you are Drinking drugs, now that’s a habit I like Swallow it down and drown my pride State of a confusion, he’s a friend of mine He don’t need a reason, he just needs time To co-exist to re-inhabit my mind What you are inhabits your mind Being unfriendly, well that’s what I do Arrogant, ignorant oh yes it’s true I am exactly what you see in me I’m what you want from me It’s everyone, it’s everything It’s what you feel, it’s what they think That makes me, that’s breaks me So label me, I’ll label you, It’s just a word that makes it true Written March 27th, 2002 © on Apr 04 2002 10:42 PM PST   10 • 0
