— Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook)

"When you're struggling with something, look at all the people around you and realize that every single person you see is struggling with something, and to them, it's just as hard as what you're going through."

They look you straight in the eye.
Smile their sweet smile, separate their lips.
Because all they do is lie, lie, lie.

They part their lips without a sigh,
Take a deep breath; your heart rips.
They look you straight in the eye.

They make you feel like you should die,
Rip your heart out; break it apart.
Because all they do is lie, lie, lie.

You want to scream, you want to cry.
Tears pour down, exposed is your heart.
They look you straight in the eye.

You don't want him to say goodbye.
But, do what's right; do what's smart.
Because all they do is lie, lie, lie.

The numero uno rule when dating a guy,
Is to avoid him before he unzips.
They look you straight in the eye.
Because all they do is lie, lie, lie.

This is a really great poem.  You may want to avoid using Spanish, though, it sort've ruined the tempo.  But overall it was really good.
