Fitting in...Standing out

"Looking into someone's eye,
Can you tell that they lie,
About who they are inside,
Are they dull or bright...

The mask we all wear,
The lies we all share,
It's all a huge mistake,
Putting truth on the stake...

Why pretend we're perfect,
When we know we are not,
To fit in we all put an act,
For its far better to stand out...

To get a friend,
We all bow and bend,
Not knowing who friends really are,
The ones who make you touch the star...

But we prefer the fake,
And we do whatever it take,
To get ourselves into the circle,
Just to laugh and giggle...

Not seeing who was really there,
Those who'd love and care,
The people we rank last,
When they should be the very first...

I made that mistake too,
Not knowing what to do,
I'm writing this now,
Coz' i owe a bow,
To the old friends i forgot,
To the people i've ignored,
The beautiful hearts i've burnt,
Coz' now i've learnt...
I've been rude and bitter,
But now i know better..."
I'm out of the game,
I wanna be who i really am...
