You
A flawless, straightforward and upright person
That’s what you think you are
You do good to other people
You hurt less
You are not heartless
The world itself is complex
There is no room for perfection
Just flaws everywhere
As the race for survival continues
Promises have been broken
Love reduced to just a word
Hatred came as a suprise
And Mean has a confusing meaning
Truth has now become a hard dare
Remember even beauty lies
Yes in the eyes of the beholder
You’ll understand the day you’ll be older
You lie to her,she lies to you
You both make promises
To always be there for each other
Nothing lusts forever
You know yourself better
The things you do in secret
The obsessions,the addictions
The versions of you that nobody knows about
You can try to be the best
You can try not make mistakes
You can even try and fit everywhere
But you’ll never stop being you
