Many Faces

Carrying more than one face,
And modify, for everyone.
I get the wreckage in place,
And given all but none.
Auditing each movement I,
Make for the sake of the truth.
For I won’t harbor the lie,
And let you steel my own youth.
Selling souls to spite their will,
That’s what has been attempted.
My strengths will fulfill,
Aspiring the lifted.
Fake the saint, play the part,
Killing kindness cold hearted.
Thinking your shoty stories smart,
Digging my grave, already started?
Lingering longer deception,
Cause their eyes you have to hide.
Auditory perception,
Persuading all to your side.
Jekyll and Hyde can’t keep up,
With the mess you’ve created.
No trust, your actions are corrupt.
My hearts to heavy, weighted.
Don’t deny the things you try,
I know the truth, I’ve been there.
Cause all you do is think I,
And leave me in a don’t care.
