Truths and lies

Lie to me
tell me that
there is still hope,
In making them see and
believe in me

Make me believe you,
That soon, they will see the fight,
That they will see how hard I try,
That they will see and understand
Just how hard I work for what I want.

And then tell me that they will care.
Tell me that they will understand
Anything and everything that is me.
TELL ME that the fight is worth it,
And that in the end, they will see

I want you to make me believe
that THEY are the ones at fault
For what they've made me believe.
Tell me that everything they've said
to me is all a lie,
that nothing they've ever said is honest,
that nothing they've told me is true,
That none of it is exactly as they say,
And tell me that they twist it all around
to fit what they need it to fill....

...because that would be the truth.
They only truth they've ever told me,
was that I'd have to work for what I want-
-for what I will-, Achieve.
The only truth they've ever told me,
and it was the one I already knew from the start.

All else they've ever said is a bunch of lies,
Words broken, twisted and bent,
because I have become what they despise.
I have become everything they are against.
Because I am real, I am honest, I AM ME!

They once told me something,
a phrase every parent tells their child.
'you can become anything you wish,
it may take some work,
but you can be what you want,
and we will always support you'

The only truth to come from that was,
That I WILL become what I want,
That I WILL have to work to get it
But the rest was a lie.
They forgot to tell me the fine print.

They forgot to tell me,
that this only applies to what they approve.
That if it's anything other than what they want,
They will not support or help me....
So I'll work to achieve what I WILL be.

I no longer need their support,
I'll work on my own.
Since I won't be completely alone.
I have my friends and my lover
to help and support me.
Until we reach our success.

I no longer care for anything
that my family has told me.
Because I have realized...
It's all a bunch of lies.
The truths that exist in this world-
I will find them myself.
