Behind closed doors


I'm standing in front of a audience

Everyone has their eyes on me

Waiting on me to put on a show

There are yet so many things that

I haven't discover about myself

I know that I'm capable of many things

I have this I-can-do-it-attitude

A pleasant smile, a happy face, and a positive 

outlook on life

But behind closed doors 

I can't trust people 

I can't pick side with anybody

I can't look you in the eye 

with a straight face like

I'm serious

I would just simply lie to your face

without showing any symtoms

of a liar

I don't know who to trust anymore

I feel that everyone is a liar

I rather just turn my back on those people

The only people I'll look up to

is my family and God

I feel that I had so many people who were just fake as f***

I hate it when people say that I'm their friend

Well in the mind of Toni-Ann 

I have no friends

I don't have anybody to rely on

or even count on

When I was in Elemantary School

never had any friends 

Nor did I see those people ever again

I don't why I go to church or school

I hate people

I like myself, God, and my family

And hopefully I'll find the right guy to be my boyfriend

Then those will be the only things I care about

I don't give a f*** about nobody

It's not like I'll even see those people in the next 10 years

Behind closed doors

I'm constantly crying and dying on the inside

Behind closed doors I don't give a f*** about nobody
