You fill people with a sense of hope
Every word that you utter
Rolls off your tongue so smoothly
Just like melted butter
Your lies are preconceived
And all truth has been eschewed
You don’t hesitate to deceive the innocent
How can you be so crude?
Weaving webs of fraud and deception
Without the slightest regard
As to where your actions may lead you
You only wish to remain unmarred
All too soon, however, it happens
Your lies have matched your stride
They catch up and ultimately reveal you
For whom you are deep down inside
It is then that you look around you
At the world which you have conjured
And realize the fouls you’ve committed
How many people you have falsely lured
As you attempt to break past the barrier
That separates your world from ours
You are met with unfriendly looks
Faces of contempt, distrust, and scowls
Desperate to regain the trust
Which you have strived to develop for years
You plead and beg for absolution
Gradually, your eyes give way to tears
Unwilling at first, to forgive
The lies and havoc you’ve created
Your friends and family begin to contemplate
All the people you’ve truly frustrated
You allowed the lies to wholly consume you
Leaving not a trace of originality behind
You gave them the key to yourself
And eventually, they overtook your mind
But now that you’ve taken over the reins
Of your mind, body, and soul
I strongly urge you to remember
To ensure those lies never regain control.
