The Real Die

The Fake Lives Forever

Sniffing a fake plant like it's real

Because nothing that is real will ever stay alive

The lies will never die

The truth is a killer

The fake will live forever

So I cry

And go hide

The truth can put you on a long and crazy ride

Stopped by your own lies

I'll give you this fake smile

Even though the hurt lingers for a while

Don't want to live here forever

Not being afraid to die makes you braver

So, I will live in my truth

Be the realist person you ever knew

Not on social media being fake for views

What about you? What do you choose to do?
