Self perception as a commodity

If you percieve yourself as a commodity,
yes that happens with people,
circumstances teaches people to sell themselves,
to view themselves as the commodity,
It happens when people treat you like one for long,
You are the asset,
You are the saleable part of the deal.
You are for sale,
Soon you believe the hype,
You think you are the commodity,
You get caught up in it all,
You are the commodity,
You need to market yourself,
You need to do it cleverly,
Nothing you say is true anymore,
It is all promotion,
self promotion,
you think you are the object,
YOu sell yourself,
With clever words,
That really mean nothing,
but a simple ploy to sell,
you become but a cheap salesperson,
No matter how much the money,
you become a cheap salesperson,
smiling all guises,
desperate to sell yourself,
You stop seeing yourself as a human,
You are for sale,
That is what everyone tells,
No real talk ever,
Everything told for the effect,
Oh the trick lies in telling it like it is the truth,
Telling it like it is not a sales pitch,
Telling it like you are a human,
But hey, you are not,
You are a piece for sale.
anything can be bought you say?
A million hits?
Oh , so a million hits a standpoint for getting sold?
Looks like a good price
Is all it takes.
You are but an object,
REady for sale,
Nothing left in it all,
Every single gesture,
all a sales pitch,
cleverly disguised,
It is a pity,
It is a pity,
That you see yourself as an object for sale.
