Self Discovery- Japan (1.5 Months)

I've been a little distraught lately about a lot of things going on. People left and right letting each other down. Relationships gone bad. Close friends and family dying..and truth is, I don't know what to do anymore. I wrote this because it's the only way I can really express myself right now...I really enjoy poetry as well. This goes out to anyone who's struggling. It's focused on lying and deceit but I guess it can go any way. Hope you like it ( i added dramatic music LOLLL)

lyrics:

They say it’s so cliché, the way we cheat into lies to make the other stay.
Faking smiles to keep a palate clean,
Denying truth, so the truth is not seen.
Well I just have a message to say, reminding you
That if you’re a man who plays, or a woman who craves
The pleasure of more than one can measure,
You’re in that place.

Avoiding the tears of your partner’s face?
Or burdened by what you can’t erase?
They say that’s the burden of pride.

I once heard that being sorry is the highest act of selfishness,
Seeing value only after discarding this.

So while you’re at your husband’s place,
Treating him well and receiving his grace,
Is that really you behind the scenes?
By all means, you claim he’s your everything,
While every night you stand between
The bedsheets of a cheater, and the heart of one much sweeter.

Tell me this, which cup do you drink?
The china glass with a bad distaste, or the unsightly mug of amazing taste?


The second is what I’d embrace.

So don’t be that pretty face or cup of nothing, and
Instead come clean to the truth unseen.
Your perfect skin and the makeup decays,
And what’ll be left is what you never displayed.

Take it from someone who knows,
Who hides her face behind the marks of eyeliner
Because she’s afraid her man will choose a girl much finer.
Heart is where the beauty lies,
So when you see your man again.
Be real, and show him your true eyes.
