I came up with an idea of how we, as people lie to ourselves, and to others.
Sometimes to hurt, sometimes to spare someone's feelings. Sometimes, we lie to ourselves, refusing to see what is right IN FRONT of our eyes, whether it be for good (refusing to see red flags), or bad (refusing to see the good).
So this is.... a working model of a poem about that.
As always, please tell me what you think, and where I can make improvements in my writing :)
The steps we take, and smiles we fake,
to hide the thoughts inside.
Kings of pain, and Queens of hate,
waiting for the stream to subside.
Masks and Deceit, we wear our attire,
As we live by the words, "Liar Liar".
Some take to maiming, when emotions run wild,
others to hide and save in attempts to be kind.
Still more chose paths wherein unwittingly reviled,
to themselves, in mirrors, we remain as blind.
To hide the truth, in unison we conspire,
As we live by the words, "Liar Liar".
Blessings from curses, misremembered moments,
Pain from pleasure, those which time makes bitter.
Trusting ourselves, well meaning claimants,
of memories not distorted, with a subconscious titter.
Lying, unaware to oneself, no matter how dire,
As we live by the words, "Liar Liar".
