I’m not telling you how to live your life
No, far from it; all I’m saying is
If you choose to lie to yourself long enough
Intent on being evasive
Of the pain that comes with the truth
Every delusion you have carefully crafted
For everything but your name
Will, in your world, become true.
And in all honesty,
That should frighten you.

Simple, but true. I love authenticity in character. Why forfeit your identity to masquerade as someone or something you are not? Perhaps there are do or die situations I’m not aware of. But outside of that, I cannot bring myself to understand.
The deeper someone pretends to be something they are not, the harder it will be to find themselves when they genuinely want to.Â
