All I see are lies When I look into your eyes. All I see is shame When I look into your frame. I was, of what I said, certain, Until you suddenly became a new person. Now I see you differently. You’ve changed entirely. Your eyes are honest, Full of promise. Your frame is respected, No longer neglected. Have I been wrong, About you, all along? Is what I see Has always been me? Do I own the eyes That are full of lies? Am I the frame That’s full of shame? Maybe I am. Maybe I’m just a pathetic sham. I wished it wasn’t true, So I tried to see it in you. “To do so, there’s no possible way,” I say. Now, I accept myself, Because I am not someone else. I am who I am. I am not, anymore, a pathetic sham.

Not You. Me.
All I see are lies When I look into your eyes. All I see is shame When I look into your frame. I was, of what I said, certain, Until you suddenly became a new person. Now I see you differently. You’ve changed entirely. Your eyes are honest, Full of promise. Your frame is respected, No longer neglected. Have I been wrong, About you, all along? Is what I see Has always been me? Do I own the eyes That are full of lies? Am I the frame That’s full of shame? Maybe I am. Maybe I’m just a pathetic sham. I wished it wasn’t true, So I tried to see it in you. “To do so, there’s no possible way,” I say. Now, I accept myself, Because I am not someone else. I am who I am. I am not, anymore, a pathetic sham.
