The Piece:

 

 

Fun House

Striving for the fortune 
Playing the superficial game, 
Changing self to stack dollars,
Rat race made me forget my name.

Standing front of mirrors for hours,
Trying to best dress my frame
Running feverish for vanity
In search of beauty, ugliness came 

Can’t help but see the distortion
It ain’t no one but perception to blame
I became my own worst enemy
Trusting funhouse mirrors caused mental pain.

 

Know better than to lie about it,
True: confidences wane 
Yet I learned a valuable lesson: 
Stop searching for what was naturally gained.
