Forced Rigamortis

by Amir Riveroll   Mar 17, 2010


Im dying due to false representation,
Ive lost my identity in a world of lies,
Who you wanted me to be, wasnt the actual me,
But a false clone of who your desires,
Ive locked myself in a steel shell,
Now i swim in a pool of shame,
Knowing ive contorted myself to pretzel for you,
i stood still for your satisfaction,
Age and dust settles and my body stiffens,
Rigamortis has arrived for my true self has died inside,
Cant u smell d odor of disgust of myself?
Cant u see the flies?
You do things for love they say,
But all along you did this just to be told you still not good enough,
All that for nothing?
Now im beyond disgust,
I should have just kept as myself,
Where i smiled when things were actually funny you know when I had a sense of humour,
Not forced to smile just to fit in,
Now ive lost my true self and have no idea who i am,
Swimming in the pool of shame i find pieces of the old me,
I retrace my steps and reverse my mind,
As lucky as I am a valuable lesson learnt,
Just be who you are and not lie to everyone especially yourself,
For no one wins but you lose the most important thing, yourself.
Stay true to yourself, be patient, those who really love you will love you for who you are not what u can be.
