Behind This, Lies Deception

Everything may seem alright
At first
But truth is, it isn't.
You may think that things are fine
But behind these eyes
There are a whole lot of lies,
Deception,
Falseafication,
An unknown being
And over all a soulless person.
Behind these eyes you'll be tricked,
Among of which everyone is
And not only will you not see the person I am
But you'll see who you want me to be
You won't see that im just an image
Created by light and sound
Which may include emotions,
If thats what you truly want to see
What lies behind these brown eyes
Is deception, 
Is a lie,
Is the truth,
Is what you want to see, 
Is just 
Not the real me.
Stick around and see
Maybe you'll like who I really am
Maybe not...
Your call
I'm not going to pretend anymore,
I'm tired of pretending.
This is me, you don't like it?
Then turn around and walk away.
Behind these eyes,
There will always be secrets.
