What's hard about being honest?
Let them know that it's a contest
True love will only win the race
Like the turtle at a slow pace

Tell me how you really feel
What's hard about being real?
It's not about playing games
Feelings have to be the same
Not exactly but be true

If perception is deceived by one
Then step back and send them
Elsewhere on their path

Most want a character unfaked and pure
But how can we be so sure?
Think you found the "one"
That it's not just for fun?
If so, and that's what you want too
By all means, you do you

What's hard about this game we play?
I don't really want to play
What I want is genuine in existence

I want solid ground
I want intrinsic value in the flesh
An undeniable flame
Games put to rest
