Living A Lie

Lights flashing all around
Paparazzi stalking all for a story
Taking the truth and tearing it to shreds
Publishing lies all for attention
Giving you this fame
Like never before
But nothing last forever nor is it what it seems
The truth tugs at you trying to break free
They continue to build you up by lies and fame
Somebody else sparks attention
You began to be broken down
Feeling like their own little reality show
Its all turned around on you and then your nothing anymore
Paparazzi get bored with their someone new and go back to you
Trying to build you up again with lies and stories
Taking your humanity little by little every time

They take you and break you
You don't have to take it
Tell them no and walk away
Don't live a lie
Be yourself and live the truth
Live the life you want to
Be who you are and not who they want you to be
Stand up and learn to walk alone and free
Slander goes on for as long as you let it
Take your life back, quit letting it be controlled
Come on take my hand and well tell the world off
Well tell them your no longer living a lie

This is nice. Reminds me of 'Welcome to the Masquerde'

[Michael X]

truth is in the eye of the beholder, which can often times be manipulated,
such is tabloid fame, to twist a lie in such a way it resembles truth,
and many have suffered because of such intentions, this poem speaks
from the depth of the subject, powerful, convicning flow, brilliant ^_^

[Zombri]

It seems like this one has two different meanings, true fame, and love... I like it.

[Alex Crow]

It's awsome, nice flow and its true that slander only goes on as long as we let it.
