Be true,
Show all of you.
Never be fake
For it is not worth the stake.

Do not lie,
Since it hurts like a poke to the eye.
Honesty is the best,
You should not push it aside or let it rest.

Be true,
Show all of you.
Never be fake
For it is not worth the stake.

Always love,
Sometimes you will need help from above,
Keep yourself happy.
If you have to, even get overly sappy.

Be true,
Show all of you.
Never be fake
For it is not worth the stake.

Liars and people who can not be trusted, can sometimes bring the greatest inspiration.
