‘The Reality’

I took my pen to create my life.
It feels as though this is a lie.
The ink is out and so am I.
I made a face but left the eye.
Now I know why I can't see.
The people who broke and forgot about me.
I’ll make a new start and show them a glare.
Trust me this time, they can’t help a stare.
They don’t know what they didn’t get to see.
Well now they’ll see the real me.
Yo guys, let me tell you one thing.
This is the reality.
