This is two truths and a lie,
Can you tell which one's which and why?

Keep your eyes peeled,
You're about witness something very real.
It's a way to express through a game,
So I think it deserves more credit than being just 'lame'.

Do you think you know about me?
About who I am and what I'd like to be?
Well then, maybe I could make this a surprise for you
Maybe there's more to life than being just forever blue.

Okay, here comes the first one-
I don't really like the person I've become;
Always lost, feeling like I don't belong
When did I lose faith in being just strong?

I don't feel comfortable in my own skin;
The picture in the mirror screams, "Oh, look what the cat dragged in."
But that's just the first confession,
To know real drama, you gotta wait for the second one.

I think this one's going to be easy to decipher
Because when I say the darkness inside is like a poisonous viper,
I'm not too sure that you'll understand what I mean
But that's alright; being haunted by it has always been a dream.

Then comes the third thing I'll say,
And this game would just be over, like every day.
If you really want to know why I shut out the world,
Maybe you could start at how sometimes, things are undeserved.

Maybe I wasn't good enough, and I didn't want to feel ungrateful
Yet, if you're still here for this idiotic lull:
This is two truths and a lie,
Can you tell which one's which, and why?

This one really just came together when I was just doodling, you know. I was trying to work on my completion but my head just wasn't in the right place and this is what it was thinking about. Huh. At least I didn't completely waste my time. Well, partially anyway, haha.

But I want you to know that, if you're reading this, I still do believe that there's hope for all of us. I'm not completely dark inside, and I wouldn't wish that upon anyone. Whenever I'm feeling pretty dark, I channel it into things like writing a poem or maybe a paragraph, and I definitely feel better.

I'd always recommend that. ❤️
