Contradicting Similarities

you shower me with love
but your actions are full of hate
claim to have faith in me
...funny how judgemental you are
in times of sorrow you cry with me
but deep down you are laughing

pretending to act so tough
yet deep down you crumble like a soft cookie
dressing well in your designer clothes
covering the torn underwear and stinking socks
trying hard to maintain an image
that you know is just not you

trying hard to fit in
but every day you feel left out
you seek straight forward answers
to the crooked life you live
trying hard to be the perfect one
in this imperfect world

try and life your life
or tomorrow you will be dead
be true to yourself
get rid of the fakeness
its funny how the contradictions of our lives
are the similarities that make us so alike

ok, this is all fine and dandy, but how the hell did you know my undies are ripped??

indeed we are all walking oxymorons, methinks.
