I have always been living in lies.
Words so cheap, things I despise
They think me weak. They think be dim
But I'll give you a liar, torn limb from limb
And yet still I'm found the loser
Some how still, I'm not the user
But the used, I still am played
And all the real players play in their masquerade
Are you disappointed little girl? little girl?
Have you found your self lost, in this big little world?
Are you sad? Are you scared?
Are you lost or impaired?
Can you walk? Can you run?
Can you see what you have done?
Were you sad when it bit you? Were you mad when it tore?
Did you watch your lies crumble right onto the floor?
And what, little girl, little girl, did you do?
Were you lost when you learned what they already knew?
You are no better than those you hate so
How sad that these things you may never truly know
Yes, we are the liars, yes you are the played
But still, so well, these rules you've obeyed
Shut up! I told them- Shut up and be still!
For you have no true faces, and play by MY will!
The voices they laughed and I cried just once more
Insanity has it's moments, when losers play sore.
Author notes
One of the stanzas is from an old poem of mine, but I never liked the just of that poem, so here's a new attempt.

Wonderful write well enjoyed
I like your style and great talent. you rhyme was well done. I liked these lines in your write the best;
"And what, little girl, little girl, did you do?
Were you lost when you learned what they already knew?
You are no better than those you hate so
How sad that these things you may never truly know
Yes, we are the liars, yes you are the played
But still, so well, these rules you've obeyed"
