Look me in the eye and tell me the lie

The hardest thing now days 
is to be honest and good
to follow the rules and love
tell the truth and help
look someone in the eyes
have a conversation under the blue sky
not steal from those who have the most
not spit in the faces of those who deserve it
tell someone who disrespects you at work
 F  Y O U !!!
Not to look one it the eye when you know
all they do is lie to you
but you still try and try to do the right thing
and i simply ask why do i try so hard to
be someone, why not be no one
 what is so wrong with that.
