MIND GAMES







MIND GAMES





Trying to score points is the name of the game
You are all so alike you are all the same,
It`s just a way of buying popularity
It can be seen with such vivid clarity.



`What can I do next to gain some ground? `
More followers just have to be found,
`I`ll say something nice that`ll do the trick`
This is nothing more than a ploy or antic.



Being nice is what you like to portray
But sooner or later you give yourself away,
You find it hard to keep up this facade
Then show of what you are really made.



This behaviour is far from unique
It`s just attention that these people seek,
Some people give them just what they crave
To their detriment they become their slave.



I don`t like to be a pawn in anyone`s game
To just live my life in peace is my aim,
These power games make me stop and think
Who will be the next that they hoodwink.



I am sure you all know someone like this
In their lives something must be amiss,
Don`t be taken in by what you think you see
Look a little closer and there the truth will be.
