I'm a phony, a fake
a liar and a cheat
What you see aint the real me
it's a mask of deceit
Who I want to be
It aint the real me
but I'm so good at pretending
it's all you'll ever see
The guy in the mirror?
someone I invented
a composite character
from movies I rented
The heroes and bad guys
all donated a trait
the ones I admire the most
and the ones that I hate
The things that I say and do
all scare me to death
but I keep that shit buried deep
and under my breath
The truth of the matter
is I'm starting to be become
the sort that I'd look up to
when I was just dumb
The secret is this thick veneer
I painted on the cracks
is just as real as the useless prick
that's buried in the back
Nice one, Pent! Was there anything you were thinking about recently that inspired this?
I like this. It's like reading my own thoughts. Well not exactly, but anyway. :)

A few people lately, both online and IRL, are suffering from issues that remind me of issues I used to have. Got me thinking about why I either don't have them any more or have made them manageable.

Well done.
I like it!
Nicely done, Pent!
