Hurry. Sparkle. Be anybody

if you decide to close your eyes
to swim in a pool of lies
you may drown and die
but at least you tried
to yourself, at least you lied
you should also be proud
that in life, what you found
is nothing about yourself
when you look in the mirror
and see you looking at you
you should be proud too
that you live a life that is two
a body of yourself
a mind of who you are not
