I take my bags, pack them up I must leave ‘fore the sun comes up I need to leave this house of lies I need to leave this house that hides I hide and hide all day and night I hide myself, out of fright But now I must come to my senses Despite the horrid consequences I’m tired of hiding who I am And honestly I don’t give a **** Don’t give a **** to what you think Don’t give a **** to your critique I’m not even sorry for throwing a fit I’m done dealing with your ******** I’m who I am, and that is all And I’m not afraid to stand tall I know you’ll never accept who I am But just know that I don’t give a **** So go feed your children with your lies Feed them ‘til you blind their eyes Blind their eyes to what is ‘right’ Deprive them of all delight Blind their eyes to what is ‘wrong’ But before then, I’ll be long gone Teach them to judge with their eyes Teach them to have a narrow mind Teach them that they are great Teach them to fill their hearts with hate You tried to teach me all of this But I learned how to dismiss Your biased, skewered, bits of ‘truth’ That you have taught me since my youth

House of Lies
I take my bags, pack them up I must leave ‘fore the sun comes up I need to leave this house of lies I need to leave this house that hides I hide and hide all day and night I hide myself, out of fright But now I must come to my senses Despite the horrid consequences I’m tired of hiding who I am And honestly I don’t give a **** Don’t give a **** to what you think Don’t give a **** to your critique I’m not even sorry for throwing a fit I’m done dealing with your ******** I’m who I am, and that is all And I’m not afraid to stand tall I know you’ll never accept who I am But just know that I don’t give a **** So go feed your children with your lies Feed them ‘til you blind their eyes Blind their eyes to what is ‘right’ Deprive them of all delight Blind their eyes to what is ‘wrong’ But before then, I’ll be long gone Teach them to judge with their eyes Teach them to have a narrow mind Teach them that they are great Teach them to fill their hearts with hate You tried to teach me all of this But I learned how to dismiss Your biased, skewered, bits of ‘truth’ That you have taught me since my youth
I wrote this poem for a friend of mine who is going through rough times. Hope you enjoy it (also: which alignment do you prefer? left, right, or center?)
