‘Cause I’ve taken a vow of integrity and I’m clearing my name.
So here goes.
I’m an impostor; an actor of deceit…
I’ve been taking advantage of you,
Presenting myself under the guise of inadequacy,
Blatantly deceiving you; feigning poverty.
I know. It’s despicable.
I can’t believe I’ve stooped this low myself.
So I’ve decided to stop pretending.
See, I have a confession to make.
It is my duty to inform you that…
That—
I’m filthy rich!
I know, I know, it’s really bad but that’s not all:
Me and my posé have an inheritance of Prime Real Estate.
I mean this Land never looses value.
We’re set for eternity!
You gotta see the humor in this!
Not only have I secured immeasurable fortune,
But I have stashed tremendous potential for many, many years
And it has even generated interest!
The crazy thing is I didn’t even realize it!
I mean, I kind of had an inkling
But I kept it hidden, holding back in fear.
I swore myself to secrecy, choosing not to reveal.
But it’s been buried there all this while.
Amassing in power and size
And I kept and horded it for myself.
Granted this vow to secrecy has exposed me to undesirable circumstances
I’ve suffered a lot under this pretense
Feigning the appearance of mediocrity
But I’m tired of living like this
And I chose to break out and claim my true identity
So I’m sorry for deceiving you!
I’m sorry for taking your hand outs,
Your resources reserved for the poor…
For succumbing to the lies they told me to tell
The compromises that lead to almost hell
Tweaking my credentials just a little bit to gain your acceptance and approval
And for taking your pity,
Your sympathy,
Your shame;
Just to bear your name.
From now on I will walk in true integrity
Taking my place of dignity and distinction
And embracing destiny.
So long system!
I’m off to conquer my world.
