Always Keep It Real



No matter the day or how you feel, It is
important that you always keep it real. Life is
too short to act fake, so try not to make that
mistake. It might seem or feel hard, that emotion choose to disregard, life will eventually leave you scarred, even if you've held up a guard. It's time to open everybody's eyes, forget all the lies, and
remove the disguise! That's what would be wise!
Be whom you were meant to be in society. Make keeping it real your top priority! Allow everyone
to see, so it all comes back to reality. I have
nothing to hide, and in that I take pride! I have
never had to decide if I could remember to whom I lied. I tell it like it is cause that's the only way I've
ever known, and now that I'm grown, I know I'm
not alone! I've instilled this in my kids and the
progress has shown. I thrive on respect, so I
choose not to neglect the realness that's known.
