Lies

LIES A web that has no ending For I can not stop Even though I try Something is wrong with me Because my judgement is blinded And I can not see Every time I make the promise To quench the desire to mislead It only adheres for a short moment Until the web starts to bleed The deciet of my words My voice has no truth It is an addiction A never ending piercing thorn It is like a paper cut That always hurts to the touch And I am that paper cut That hurts everyone I touch Why can't I control this monster inside It is destroying my very being It is grasping my loved ones by the heart Tearing their view of me completely apart I wish that this was just a dream That this is not as bad as it seems And that I am not pushing everyone away Acceptance is my aime To be looked upon higher Eventhough, I have everything I have always visioned This thing still wants to feed I have tried so many times to depress it So many promises and pleads To the one above Whom I know that shows only love The one who can crush this irritating bug It yearns so badly to come alive That I can not contain it Eventually, it slowly engulfs my soul Like fumes from a old kerosene heater Taking away my breath Some days I try to start a fresh But, within hours and without even knowing Out comes my darkened words My mind has no control I Have No Control Only Lies have Control

I have known people like this. There are many reasons why people lie. Some it’s for the attention they receive.

A beautiful but hard truth. It reads with pure honesty. Thanks for sharing... Lay

this discribes my current girlfriend. we have broken up many times. but are now together. i realize that it is a sickness but it's still hard to believe. this poem gives me proof of what i believe. that she can't control her self. i'll just hold on as long as i can. but in away this poem has made me love her more. one question, does this lying also involve stealing. ours involve coning me out of money.

Lying comes in many forms. It is a disease that the world does not understand. Someone can not just "stop" all at once. I have a close friend, and yes close that lies all the time. The poem was written for her. She understands that she has a problem but, it so hard for her to control. We as people need to be understanding but we need to protect our hearts as well.~Tammy~
