The liar runs on pride and pretends he has siezed life.
The liar is lost and pounding on his own soul.
He eliminates the turth to find a torn piece of peace.
He strives to make it through hard conditions with the lies that are strained from his heart.
The liar leads an eccentric life of pain.
I am the liar.
You are greater than I.
I am trampled under your feet of truthfulness.
I am a shade of gray from black lies and white peace.
I stand as I stand and I can not change.
I am a condition of tears.
I am the liar who writes these poems of what I want to be.
Truthfulness may still be found in this spiraled world.
Don't ignore everything you hear and only half of what you see.
Maintain my insecure soul and feel my admitance.
Bend your ways to invite me in and then you will see how much we resemble ourselves.
Maybe everyone is a liar in the end.
We grasp our thoughts so tightly that we can't see each others lies.
We laugh out our lies,
We choke on our lies,
and last of all we live through our lies.
I am;
We are;
The Liars

Excellent darkness here,I believe we all
lie to ourselves at one time or another and to others more times than naught! Welcome!!

If we lie so much we start believing, is it not then truth? Great poem.

I lied to myself for years and it nearly destroyed me. Now it's an occasion not a habit. Write on!

How true it is that we lie not only to ourselves but to others.

This was a great poem and pretty dead on in truth...about us all...I just wish I could stop lieing to myself as often and start to understand what truth, truely is.
