The Lies We Tell Ourselves

Aug 15, 2011 02:05

I've been hearing a lot of talk about people changing. People claim to have found God and become better people, turned over a new leaf and my all-time favorite is when someone says that we just don't know the real "insert name here".

I'll start things off by saying that I know the real you to any number of liars out there. I know your past and I know all that you've tried to keep hidden. I know that you still cheat, drink and lie to those who love you on a regular basis. Pathetic.

I'm no saint. I've lied, cheated and stolen plenty of times. I don't keep that secret. At times, I am indeed a truly terrible person. I will lie to your face and steal the money from your pockets if I can get away with it. But I'm honest about it.

Don't try to con me and those around me into believing your lies. We see through them. More importantly, I SEE THROUGH THEM.

I'll never be a saint. Hell, I'd rather be the villain than your hero. Villains interest everyone. Not everyone loves a hero.

At least I'm honest about who and what I am. I'm a fiend.
