Of Eyes And Lies

They say your eyes tell a story
About the things that we say and do,
And when you look at your image
You would know in your heart if these things are true.
Some of us see lies reflected,
Some of us know it's all fake,
But what if i get rejected?
Some go along just for this sake.
I see it now in the mirror of this society
This truth of which i have just spoke,
With pride in their eyes, and belief in their lies,
Some of them embrace this joke.

Eyes And Lies

Hello,
I like the mirror referring to both society, and our individual image. The last two lines are very strong.
Thank you!
Lavender

This line: "You would know in

This line: "You would know in your heart if these things are true." stands out because of its length on the page. Perhaps rephrase it to: "You would know in your heart if this is true." Apart from that one line it flowed well, and was a good read.
