Sometimes, I think of
how much of my words
were real—do I really
feel the things I'm saying
or where they just products
of my wish to please
the people around me?

The flow does take me
—I rhyme without thought
of how it would sound
to the regular passer-by
The show takes me
—I go on without much
left in my because it's
what I expect the world
expects from me

So, sometimes, I do think of
how much of my life is my own
and how much have I been
spending trying to make
others' lives better lately
—do I really feel the need
to do good or is it just me
hoping that I'll be rewarded
for it someday?

The greed does take me
—I give without thought
believing I'll get repaid
for it eventually
The evil takes me
—I shift without anything
left to lose somehow convinced
I have everything to gain

That way, sometimes, I think of
how much of my face and
the sides I'm showing to
the world was real
—do I really believe
the thoughts I have or
are they just there to gain
sympathy from the people
who won't have anything
to spare me at all?
