Living a Lie

It's been one of those weeks
I feel rather down and meek
I miss seeing your smile and red cheeks
honestly, I'm so sad, I feel like a freak

I haven't been motivated
my feelings aren't liberated
My wins aren't celebrated
My mind has deviated

I wonder why it makes me cry
Hoping that the truth is a lie
I was not the right kind of guy
and, maybe that is the real reason why

We can never work on a person other than ourselves. If you are seeing that you have faults then you can work on that and become a better person. When one admits that they have a fault/faults then they can go from that point to becoming a better person. I enjoyed reading your very honest work. Sara

Very good Jazzlee, Togethernes is wonderful, if you have learned when to leave the other alone.
