I feel like my life won’t amount to anything
What should I do?
I feel like I’m not good enough for anyone
What should I do?
I feel like my life is falling apart
We ask the question,
Why lie?
Well you see,
We aren’t the only ones being lied to
Everything is lies
When we tell ourselves to be honest,
how can we know what is true?
What if the judgement we've always known
is a foreign scent to a brother?
If the slip of the tongue
becomes the slip of the mind,
I have done it before
I won’t do it again
I don’t know my limits
But I’ll pretend
This world that doesn’t revolve around me,
S another day, another eight long hours of me holding my breath T waiting for something, anything, to go wrong O over and over, my soul experiences turmoil to the extent of death P this has been going on for way too long
Nothing hurts more than realizing that as you stood,
Tears in your eyes,
Body trembling,
They stared coldly and lied to your face.

How is our baby bear?
Is it healthy is it strong?
For you two I'll never cease to care
I don't care if chasing you is wrong
You are worth the world
I wrote the poem to my ex
I hope the thought of me hurts you and tears you to shreds,
And makes you never want to see me again.
I hope you fight yourself back from calling me,
every time you look at a picture that reminds you,
They knew they should be happyBut it had lost its spark.The light of the relationshipHad faded into dark.They didn’t want to tell h
To first love, you know who you are
you know what you did
But why did you have to pick me.
There were dozens girls that could have fell for your tricks
but still yet it was me you pick. Why?
Dear My Future Ex,
I'm tired of all the lying and the cheating,
Our alliance suffers from treason,
Whenever we talk, we're fire breathing,
Only time we aren't fighting, is when we're eating,
Am I
Am I beautiful?
I know you tell me everyday
That I’m more radiant than the sun
But I don’t believe it for a second
That I’m even remotely attractive
Am I
Am I smart?
Help me understand.
I must know.
I cannot comprehend why you beat him down knife in hand.
You tell them you regret him,
She is twenty years old;
that means she has been living on this earth for twenty years.
However, do not mistake living with feeling alive.
Because it has been about five...
six, seven, eight, nine.
I promised myself since I was a kid,
Any lie to my mind I would forbidBut I've tasted temptation way too soonThis lie has lead me to my ultimate doom.
I'll own it if I have to:
I'm a liar to the core.
I'm a liar through and through,
but I don't want to anymore,
It's old,
what's more, it's tiring
I can't lie
'til I lay expiring,
I'm pretty sure that soon there won't be much left of us
Our time together slips away like the sand on shore
Under and under the waves
Sinking and resurfacing
Phoenix in the sun
Each flower
I picked for you
I wished and wished
For your words to be true
But even the steams
Knew you told lies
Slowly, they shrunk
Without saying their goodbyes
Each flower I picked
Make yourself up
No one knows who you really are except you,
so no one can say you're lying.
Except you.
heart sinks.
ears hot.
eyes wander.
and hands fiddle.
Don't think or else it becomes real.
Hold back.
"What do you have to say for yourself?"
no response.
your actions are real,
There's a reason why we lie.
To ourselves and to others.
It's because we're afraid of what the truth might do.
To ourselves and to others.
My mom is a fighter
She is always saying
"Things will get better"
She laughs and smiles
Calls me pretty and smart
She works hard to give me things
She works hard to feed me
She cleans all day
Death from lying
Always crying
My souls escaping to the sky
There is no love among this dark
Falling from grace and torn apart
Consumed by you I lost myself
Lived for your love and happiness
Bewildered by your smile
Ready to fall at any time
Opened up and let you in
Kept you sheltered from the storm.
Everything came to a stop
Skin is splotchy from lack of nutrition
Dark crevices beneath my eyes from restless nights
Hands shacking from loss of stability
Eyes sparkless due to a runaway soul
Mind caged no longer able to feel
The hurt, the agony, the pain, the betrayal, the lies, the broken promises, the assumptions, the hatred, the run arounds, the tears, the wounds, the scars, the dark, the pain, those dangerous thoughts, the nights alone, the days of torment, the
Heartbreak is something I cannot take.
I fly just to fall,
Crashing and burning.
I've smiled this smile for to long,
I'm starting to believe somethings truly wrong.
Your love was a lie
When I used to look in the mirror, I would see
A girl who struggled, but yet was sometimes pretty.
I struggled with my relationship with my family.
Although they clothed, fed, housed, and spoiled me,
Boy,
Why do you keep on askin
If I'm takin?
If someone's catchin
My attention?
You should be thinkin
That me and you aren't goin
To be somethin.
Ahh I can smell that smell from a mile away.
It's that smell of another women's perfume when he's late.
He tries to cover it up with one of those old cigars ,but that never really gets him too far.
Did you ever think about how lying is just another way of telling someone they’re not worth the truth?
I thought he was intangible
He's fragile
He is frozen in time
He's scared
He is now going slow motion in reverse
His words are misguided
They tear everything apart
He battles his secrets
Seeing isn't believing but how does one die to make it true? How does one lie to get away from shoes? Blood falls and people cry but the one who speaks finds all the links in the system to free his greedy soul.
Every bit of every word that comes out of my mouth
I swear is nothing but the truth
So the day is too dark to see
And the night is too bright for me
Truthfully I care
Truthfully I will never share
True feelings
Truthfully I lie
Silently I sigh
Wishing for something more
Anxiously wanting to explore
Deceitful words unkempt
By the comb of a human conscience
Mistakenly exempt
From Karma’s omniscient province
Is truth given attempt?
Or are falsehoods your native parlance?
