You fear the truth
The truth that drives you crazy
When what you say
What you do
Doesn't reflect what you feel, who you are
It's all just a smoke-screen
Another day
Crying on your shoulder
Don't know what to say
as my lies are getting older
The need to repress
these insecurities
I can't address
My inner animosity
'Cause all this deceit..
It's my smoke-screen
I act like a fool
and If you knew me
you'd just see right through
I just wasn't cut out to be
something better than what I see
When I look into the mirror
I see the real me
When I look into the mirror
I see past my smoke-screen
Why can't I be myself
When you're around I'm a fool
Unlike everyone else, the way I was raised
It was cruel
Now inside I hide
Inside I bide
I cannot decide
without you
Nothing would make me happier
than to spill myself to you
but would it be the same
would you even stay
Life's been unkind to me
It's what it's meant to be
My fear it doesn't fade
Honesty will never pay
And every decision that I've made
has failed to see me through
Sometimes I've even prayed
I didn't know what to do
I don't know why I act this way..
It's my smoke-screen
I act like a fool
and If you knew me
you'd just see right through
I just wasn't cut out to be
something better than what I see
When I look into the mirror
I see the real me
When I look into the mirror
I see past my smokescreen
and I don't know, If they're the right words to say
but if I go, Would I have had it another way
Can I trust myself, to say the things I mean
Or will it just, be another smokescreen

I like this one a lot. It doesn't take much to see your true self, though some get lost in what is true and what is their make believe. But you took the next step and shared yourself w/ this one. I love the title "Smoke Screen"--it's catchy and fits perfectly with the poem as a whole. Great job! |
