COMPULSIVE LIARBILITY!

Lie to my friends,
even to family.
Say what they wanna hear,
to get away from reality.

I hate it,
but can't help it.
Would it be better,
if my tongue I bit?

Lie even to myself,
so often I think it's real.
The truth hurts me too bad,
so much I cannot deal.

The truth is right there,
but I say something else.
Not sure as to why.
To protect others? Myself?

I say I don't need anyone,
but cry 'cause I'm alone.
Lies flow out of my mouth.
Truth can't find a home.

Lie to the one I love,
to whom I really care.
He doesn't even deserve it,
& I am not being fair.

I'm convinced that I don't deserve him,
& lie to set him free.
I just want him to be happy,
& maybe that means losing me.

Lieing, fibbing, withholding,
they all hurt just the same.
The person who's unknowing,
& yourself in shame!


LOVE ELMO

I think we've all lied at one point becuase either the truth was not easy or that a lie was the nicer path.

Enjoyed,

That's a hard piece of self critique.  Really enjoyed reading it.  No matter what you do with everyone else, stay true to yourself.  That's what's most important.

I really like it. It speaks so much truth, that one or other time we feel helpless to lie. I got your poem copy to my comp=) I hope you will like my poems as well.

At least you're on the right track by admitting that it's wrong.
keep staying on the same path
thanks for sharing
