Symbolic Lies

Representation you do depict Of a crafty liar who does subsist Can’t keep focused in any type of thought In fear of being noticed, in fear of being caught A figure so grand, yet honesty you lack Stature so appealing; strangers you do attract Charisma and charm attached as well Don’t get too close for dishonesty they’ll smell Reeking of deceitfulness; the aroma engulfs you whole Never believing the price you’d pay would be your entire soul So go ahead and fool them; portray yourself as who you’re not For all your lies will catch up with you and never be forgot It’s amazing how your contentious has no remorse to show It’s astounding how your dignity has vanished ever so slow So go ahead and fool them for I know who and what you are The time is nearing quickly for all that charm to unwittingly disbar © Stacy Lynn Stiles
