Not Enough

It's come to my attention that it is not enough to be truthful. It's not a good thing to be honest. You get no where by being up front. Everyone wants you to lie to them. Everyone would prefer to live in denial. Denial of what, you ask? Pick a topic. It's that one and every other one. It's everything. 

It's best to lie. To succeed you have to "fake it until you make it', this I've always known. What I didn't know is that you have to continue doing so. The charade must go on forever. Never let them in. Never be vulnerable. Never trust. 

To trust is a waste of time. Everyone will let you down. Instead of the friend whose "got your back", they will more likely stab you in the back. There is no one out there who will save anything but their own skin.  So trust your own instincts and no one else's.

Indifferent To You

It's not hard to tell,
That I've been avoiding you.
How long can this go on
with the denying that you do.

I'm indifferent to you today
as I was yesterday
and as I'll probably be tomorrow.

I've known you for so long
and I thought I knew you well.
But it seems I had things all mixed up
and must find a way to tell.

How much more can go on
Before I decide the time is right?
I'm too indifferent to the situation
To even put up a fight.

I don't think about it.
I go about my nights and days.
I don't even miss your presence
About us, what does it say?

I'm indifferent to you today
As I was yesterday
and as I'll probably be tomorrow.

With you I don't feel real or safe.
Trust was something you sold with a money back guarantee
But when I took you up on that deal
You turned away from me.

So today, I'm indifferent to you
As I was yesterday
and as tomorrow I'll probably be
I'm taking a chance and walking away
Cause I'm feeling right now, the call to be free.
