Why is it that...
When I tell the truth everyone believes only the lies?
When I tell a lie everyone belives only the truth?
My parents tell me to tell them things
They say they wont get mad
But when I do they dont
They only look sad
They look at me with tears
I know I have been had
They tell me its okay
That it will all go away
But I cant believe them
Its the way I see them
The pain I feel wont ever go away
Feelings that I feel now
My parents feel to this day

I want to make them happy
But they only believe my lies
"I didnt drink mom!"
"The condom is my sisters!"
"The pot is daddys!"
And everyone else gets into trouble
But its all mine
Its my inner self I have to fine
My heart tells me to tell the truth
My brain tells me lies
Its what my brain tells me though, is what my parents seem to "buy"

"I didnt sneak out with him"
"I dont know that guy"
But today they will look at me, and realize that its all lies
Ive told them so many times
I need help with this
They look at me and say work hard
I try and try but cant
These feelings take over whats left of my mind
Its my inner self I have to fine.
