We See Through
I wrote this a couple of months ago. I have never shared it with anyone, but it fits my mood at the moment. Please let me know what you think.
We see through
We see through the lies
And we see through the games
We see through to the weakness
And see through to the shame
Spinning and twisting
Crumpled and then torn apart
To bad there was just a void
Where I should have found your heart
No soul, no conscience
So sense of right or wrong
But you're crafty and figuring you out
Took me far too long
This poem's not a slam
It's a punch right in your face
You act so full of pride
But all I see is a disgrace
You may stand tall
Pretend you're living well
But I saw the strings controlling you
And I cut them, then you fell
See you aren't quite the person
You would like for us to see
When I look to you all I find
Is a liar and a thief
So caught up in your fallacies
You think they are the truth
But you only fool yourself
Cause the rest of us see through
We see through the lies
And we see through the games
We see through to the weakness
And see through to the shame
Don't pretend to be a sweet girl
Then act out like a slut
It may get you attention
But the attention of what?
Nobody real will fall for it
Nobody worth the time
But then you aren't worth much either
So I guess that could be fine
Don't just make excuses
For when you're acting wrong
Because you choose how you behave
Don't pass the blame if you're so strong
But you aren't strong at all
You are pathetic and you're weak
And you'd get yourself torn apart
If you had to walk my streets
But that would never happen
Because you pretend you are too good
Truth is you're just afraid
And that's why you never would
Never would come down
And see how real people live
How we share and feel and fight together
How much respect we give
But only to those who deserve it
So you know you won't get none
One cross word to the wrong girl here
And your tired ass is done
And you may have tricked some fool
Into giving you a band
But it's built on misplaced trust
I'll watch it tarnish on your hand
We see through the lies
And we see through the games
We see through to the weakness
And see through to the shame
Fuck you is over used
But you used it just the same
See I got a million other ways
To call you out as lame
I don't need my friends
To come and help me fight
But go ahead and call yours up
They're just as weak as you, so that's alright
You'd still be handicapped
Because none of them can touch me
I'm smarter and I'm faster
And their tired words just blow past me
I'm not an aggressive person
And I really don't like to argue
But you left me no other options
Someone just had to stop you
You think that you're untouchable
But that front is just a fake
As fake as everything about you
The only reality is your mistakes
And those you just keep making
When you chose to push me down
I'm not the girl I used to be
I won't stay on the ground
In fact I came up swinging
So then you ran away
If you are such a bad ass
Then you really should have stayed
But instead make up excuses
Say that it's not worth your time
That's funny, it was before
Oh right, now you'd have to try
We see through the lies
And we see through the games
We see through to the weakness
And see through to the shame
