They can see me act and play.
But do they know it's just a lie.
I am proof, lying can pay.
Only catch, I can't say bye.

So I keep up this smile.
I push past my pain.
Lying like a crocodile,
I surpass all in fame.
This was written before, during, and after a dance-off i attended. I did win. and the poem itself is about acting. more generally it is about how we as humans all win at lying to one another everyday. and do nothing to change.
