False Advertisement
You can be anyone you want
By your fingertips typin
All you are doing is
Sailing false advertisement
You can say the right things
Typing confidently to sway
The reader of your words
Mess with their minds you play
They fall for everything
You have written in response
Being dragged even deeper
Though that is what you want
Nasty trick you have done
You play with their emotions
You brainwash your readers
Into giving they're devotion
You have mesmerized them
With your fancy use of words
Leading them into a trap
The planned outcome of yours
But once they meet you in person
I hope they see you had lied
Not tricked by what they read
Transfixed on what you typed
It is easy to be anyone
When you hide behind a mask
Whether it's a computer screen
Or your false story past
Smart people will see through
Straight around your flawed plan
You did not count for them
To see that your a bad man
So keep doing what your doing
It will bite you in the end
You'll be left untrusted
Alone and with no friends
