Lies

The fallacy of my honesty comes from a foreign part of me A place where my delusion and digression from reality Will be the inescapable end of me A silent shifting of thought shapes my mood To desperate despair and destructive desire All coming from the reality that my honesty is nothing but lies And laden hypocrisy hemmed into the seams of my life The lies I have woven into the fabric of my existence Have knitted me a dark black blanket And now I see them all so clearly But I fear the cold that would come Should I remove my blanket of lies
