Chasm

Keep your eyes openI am too trusting, I blinkRemember to smileI forget every timeStay strong, the brave are kingsI am weak, a slaveBe beautifulI am too uglyTell the truthI feel like a liarLie about your feelings
Lie about your beauty
Lie about your confidence
Pretend you don't see them
lying to you.I just want to be honest.
 Don't let them see you break.

    in the world right again.

    They say, it is up to the artists
    it is up to the youth
