Lei Strauss Poet I do not know?

This Is Lie, This Is the Truth

LIE
They see us sitting in a tub of jewels and rings
TRUTH
They never see us how much we work hard for a cent

LIE
They see us wearing a glossy crown on our heads
TRUTH 
They never see how hard we try to please someone else

LIE
They see us living pampered with love and care
TRUTH
They never see the wrinkles made by pressure and stress

LIE
They see us sitting on a stack of dollars
TRUTH
They never see that we're half drowned because of financial problems

LIE
They see us putting beautiful colors in room
TRUTH
They never see how we cry when we face our own misfortune

LIE
They see us branding good reputation
TRUTH
They never see how difficult for us to conceal a mistake

LIE
They see us projecting a moral perfection
TRUTH
They never see how phony it is to be in this profession
