5 Truths, 1 Lie


 
 
 
I cheat and steal, 
but I promise to keep it real
 
I want to give up, 
but I choose to get up
 
I want to run away from the monsters that stay, 
but instead I chase them away
 
I doubt myself,
 but I come first like the trophy on my shelf
 
I get jealous and insecure, 
but I wouldn't change a single thing anymore
 
I don't care,
but would I actually dare?
