I'd rather live a life honest and free,
Than lived in the shadows cast by deceit,
For to be love in falsehood, is like a prison, dark and grim,
So in the never ending cycle of fear, I'd be the one to break the chain.
I'd rather be hated for being true, than be loved
In exchange where my real self must hide,
I'd rather face the rage of mankind for being different,
Than be loved wherein I must lie for people to be pleased.
A path that's built on lies, fragile like a fleeting ghost,
When exposed by truth, it's mask withers like a flower being thrown in the fire,
Exposing it's true self, a soul broken and frail..
I'd rather be fierce like the thunder, than be like the silent, shallow lake.
Why should I let myself drown in life's deceitful manner,
When I can be the person I want to be, kind and free.
So, I'd rather be hated for who I am, than be loved for who I am not,
With truth guiding my way, finding trust and happiness in a world unhappy,
Because at the end of the day, it's just me and myself.
