Real or Fake We Must Live
Are you Real or Fake?
When I am My Real Self, I have the power to say no to hate
Fighting to save me, before it’s too late
When I am My Real Self, I am kinder to you
Struggling to eliminate cruelty, from a heart that is true
When I am My Real Self, my heart belongs to you
To you alone, I will be true
When I am My Real Self, my love for you is real
Strong as the truth, beautiful and ideal
When I am My Real Self, my soul is yours to keep
Whether I am awake, or in a deep sleep
When I am My Real Self, joy to you I bring
Happiness and pleasures, fit for a king
When I am My Real Self, my world is yours to own
Together we embrace, the future and the unknown
Sometimes we temporarily lose ourselves
In the trials and test of life
So that we can find the real value in us
Thus giving us a better reason
To find our Real Selves
When we are our Real Self, our lives are ours to live
Survive we must, because many of us have a lot to give
Genuine or A Fraud, ourselves we must save
But my life is mine, and I am real, not a fake!
Thank you for reading this piece. I hope you enjoyed it and stay real!
