Socrates I choose to be one day,
Einstein maybe some other day,
Qualities I pick from you,
Decide to keep them a day or two,
Sadness on my part when I finally realize,
On the inside I am made up of lies,
My thoughts began to wind down like an aged clock,
With each twist producing a reality shock,
I choose not to be me,
But that is how it’s got to be.

i liked this. it reminded me of how sometimes if you tell a lie so many times, you forget that it isn't real.

If you can feel that staying human is worthwhile, even when it can't have any result whatever, you've beaten them.

AH can i relate! Its so true...

every person i'm with...i adopt another personality around them...and i do it so much i forget its a lie....

but then somedays i just have a reality check that all i'm made up of inside is LIES sometimes..

but i'm working on that, and i'm slowly starting to find myself.

great writings, sweetie

love,

I'm not sure how I missed this one..but, today was a good day to read it.

There comes a day to put away the games
So much pain in so many names
I choose today to simply be me
that is how it has to be.

Thank you very much. This was an excellent write!

I agree with Jannel, reality does get forgotten. Last night I had a conversation with my two daughters and I told them that lying is wrong, but it is even worse when you lie to yourself.
I think I am going to read this one to them.

With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free..
