Not All That Toxic

You say I’m perfect, In every single way. A single error you cannot detect, But that’s just what you say. The truth is I’m nothing more than a fake, A liar by any means. I’m a pond pretending to be a lake, I’m hiding from all my fiends. How can I be sound, When I have so many fears? My flaws are so profound, They’re spelled out in my tears. It’s always nice to pretend, But someone will always know. So my reputation I must defend, I can’t take another blow.
