Being Me
I absoulutely refuse to act
Like someone or something
I'm not.
Love is not a game to be strategized and played
People are not prizes to be won.
I want to be loved for who I am,
Not the person you think I am,
Because I've lied to win you.
Don't lie to win me.
I don't want to wake up
lie-ing next to a stranger taht exists
Only in a game of imagination.
If my honesty scares you,
Ask yourself why.
